Book Cover & Preview Text
Are there times when you would give anything not to have any stress in your life? I hope not because without stress; you have a condition called rigor followed by its cousin mortise and yes – you would be dead. Life is often challenging, and situational adversity is inevitable. We cannot control many hardships, however, we are able to build a resilience and not allow distress to exceed our capacity to cope
Ironically, real and perceived stress is not something you want to fight or flee. Research indicates that even at high levels, stress can often create greater mental toughness, deeper relationships, heightened awareness, new perspectives, a sense of mastery, and greater appreciation of life and the blessing you do have. These benefits, however, necessitate a positive mindset and look at the situation from a different perspective.
