Each and everyday we go through presents different challenges to deal with. Whether good or bad these challenges are important to our daily living and also make us who we are as individuals. One thing a lot of us tend to do is stress and worry when things get out of hand, don't go the way we want them to or when they are more challenging than expected. Most individuals worry about things they have no control over which makes their lives harder or lead to more types of stress. Stress over all is not bad and how individuals view it can make a huge difference. There is good stress and bad stress. The good stress are challenges that bring clarity in life and help us navigate this map to reach the right destination.
Good stress can help us improve as individuals and have lessons that may be important to us later on. Bad stress on the other hand make life more difficult than it should be and take layers of our daily lives from bad to worse. This is when the anxiety attacks, depression and problems with physical and mental health increase. Stress overall is overrated and we should see it as such. Stressing about things we have no control over further damages us. Think years from today, Will this matter? Will the worries we have now impact us? We have to be present in the now in life but also always determine how the now impacts our future. I never worry because I know God has a plan. I believe we are always where we need to be in certain instances and situations and the struggles will not last forever. There will always be good and bad days, that is the balance of life.
Question is will you dwell on the bad ones or just embrace it and look to the good ones? Even with the bad there should always be expectations of "that is just life". Not saying to always expect the worse but don't be surprised by it. Don't let it have such an impact that in the long run, it impacts your well being. Now everyone's situation is different and what one person may go through another person has never or will never. That is when the great Marcus Aurelius comes to the rescue. He said that everything that happens to us is bestowed unto us by Nature. Nature has bestowed this struggle, sickness, etc unto us and we are to accept it, learn from it and use it as an opportunity to improve and be at peace.
