...the Law of Stress-Hardinesss...states that stress is not only to be expected but preferred...we can and should develop an positive, workable approach to stress management...Think of it. The perfect no-stress environment is the grave...When we change our perception we gain control. The stress becomes a challenge, not a threat. When we commit to action, to actually doing something rather than feeling trapped by events, the stress in our life becomes manageable. |

| Quote: |
Most of us visualize on a daily basis, but we often do it unconsciously and in a negative fashion. It is called worrying. What happens to our bodies when we worry? We tense up, disrupt our normal breathing, and psycho-physically prepare ourselves for failure. Instead, learn to use positive visualization to prepare yourself for success. As you do you will transform the energy that supports your worrying into fuel for making your dreams come true. |

Every day you get many chances to become angry. For instance, a driver cuts in front of your car on the way to work. Someone else criticizes you. Another person doesn't return your call. All these are anger invitations. You could accept every one, in which case you'll be angry all the time.
Instead, you have to be careful. The key is to ignore the less important invitations. You have to separate what is merely annoying from what is really serious. |

People who control their own lives are like those cities of the future you have seen with huge bubbles covering them. Like those futuristic cities, these people are self-contained. It doesn't matter what goes on around them, they are in control. There may be chaos in the surrounding universe. They may be under bombardment from exterior forces. But they are protected from it all by their bubble of self-assurance and self-control. They do not worry about things they cannot control outside their bubble; they focus instead on matters within their power to influence. |

It is not uncommon to find oneself thinking such thoughts as "I can't stand this" or "If only I didn't have to do this." As the psychologist Albert Ellis notes, such thoughts frequently involve whining. In essence, we are acting like babies and whining about things "not being fair." One can continue to do this if one choose, say Ellis. However, it is usually more efficient to simply accept the fact that life is not always a bowl of cherries, stop whining, and get on with the task. |

For most of us, joy in life is at times diminished by too much worry, by periods of depression, or by other disturbing moods. The demands of modern life keep up a pressure which constantly threatens our psychological well-being. Keeping psychologically fit will help you to withstand these demands and will give you the flexibility and stamina to make the most of yourself. |
