Stressed



Stressed is desserts spelled backwards
.
Someone saw this and noted it. 
.
What does it say about anything?
.
One idea is the lady holding a cake or dessert as shown above, giving release from stress maybe?.
.
Not sure about that, another is that we can always find something to be stressed about and maybe that's "our just desserts" and not the cake idea.
.
No matter stressed is a major experience for most of us and is unfortunately in most of our lives
.
Being stressed though is usually of our own making.
.
Just that most of us do not see things that way
.
If you are stressed at the moment as you read this then ask yourself this.
.
This stress I am feeling where does it come from?
.
Usually we like to point the finger at someone or something other than ourselves.
.
But if we are honest very often the trigger is in us.
.
That other person or situation is just the trigger for our own frustration or stress.
.
If I am totally cool then you can say and do whatever you like and it will not upset me.
.
If I am cool then whatever comes my way will not upset me.
.
In other words you can only press my buttons or get me upset and stressed if I let you.
.
If this resonates with you then what are you doing to remove or reduce the stress in your life?
.
It is possible to live in stressed times without allowing it into your life.
.
Not 100% percent for sure but for much of it.
.
And this only comes along to those who are prepared to change.
.
To change habits and thought patterns.
.
Habits and thought patterns that lead to our getting stressed.
.
Perceptions that we hold so dear.
.
Time to examine them and find ways to let them go.
.
And the way to let them go is to control your mind
.
Why?
.
Because if you are not thinking then nothing touches you.
.
So having the ability to turn off your mind is necessary.
.
And that is a whole other story for another day.
