There is no such a thing as always and forever

As you reflect on the times when stress was messing with your life you may have noticed that you were not stressed all the time (even though it may have seemed that way). You would also have noticed that stress is not forever.

so that even when you were stressed there were intervals of cool and calm (even if it seems that it was only briefly.)

The great thing about this reflection is to go and have a careful study of those cool and calm exceptions that you hardly paid attention to and to notice what you wee doing or thinking in those cool and clam moments that made it possible for you to say goodbye to stress.
You are in for a pleasant surprise! Enjoy!
