Getting stressed and struggling to change the outcome of any past event is like arguing with an echo to make it see your point of view! 

Listening to your own mind give you "good reasons" why you should be fearful over unexpected events is just like being friends with someone who thinks it's funny to find new ways to hurt you!...

Falling into some form of stress or anxiety in the face of any unwanted situation is nothing more than our failure to realize the following truth: these moments are made for us...

Trying to assign blame to the stress between you and the one with whom you are in a struggle... is like trying to judge which side of the rope in a tug-of-war is to be blamed for the tension (in it).

No condition, in and of itself, is ever the cause of psychological stress, fear, or regret; suffering of this kind is inherent in an unseen, unconscious level of ‘self’ that resists changing conditions because it is incapable of changing with them.

The only thing we "add" to life by our resistance to it is the weight of a self-induced suffering born of needless worry.

The punishing pressure we feel in this life is not because of what life is but because of what we perceive life isn't.

There is no tension, anxiety, or dissatisfaction inherent in being watchful, while stresses of all makes and models are inherent in the illusion that it's possible for you to be in more than one place at a time, doing more than one thing at a time.

In this short video, Guy Finley talks about why anything that we are not aware of -- both internally and in the external world -- affects the way we feel and directs our actions accordingly. Becoming conscious of our interior state as well as our immediate external environment allows us to see tension and anxiety that is present within us without letting it take us over.

While we are often able to hide our pain born of feeling apart from life, it cannot be ignored any more than the right hand can escape the stress the body endures when the left hand suffers a splinter or is pricked by a thorn.
