(52) LIVING HERE: S.O.S. (Sources Of Stress)
Life itself, and the living of it, has its natural challenges for food, clothing and shelter, but it does not have to be so psychologically stressful. If and when it is – which is often – perhaps the following four bottom-line observations may provide a little useful insight. Of course, these few pointers only touch lightly and conceptually upon the subject of our stress in everyday living; what’s important is to see for our self how stress gets its power to amplify and distort reality which leads to all kinds of unnecessary suffering and disease.
1. Our conditioned habits, cultural attitudes and personal preferences (ie.”good/bad” “right/wrong”) directly affect and shape the way we experience our life.
2. The primary source of psychological stress is resistance to what is. (ie. believing our thoughts and feelings that things ought to be other than they are)
3. One major way to reduce suffering is to see and ease off on Control; to Stop, Look and Listen directly to our inner impulses; to see exactly what is happening and how we’re resisting that event.
4. Indeed,”The truth will set you free.” Loving, non-judgemental seeing of what is, is the key; that recognition alone will dissolve stress and restore our natural well-being which is goodness, joy, love and beauty. In a word: gratitude.
