Why the stress?

Stress is essential for your survival as it helps you in reacting to potential dangers in the world, however, too much of it is not healthy and can leave you burnt out. It is essential to balance the amount of stress in your body to ensure you can be productive. When we feel pressured or threatened, we respond by becoming stressed.

Feelings that help you refocus

1. Curiosity: learn a new skill, read a book on a new topic, etc.

2. Lust: Sexual energy is a powerful resource to tap into transmuting this energy to engage in creative or vigorous activities.

3. Care: Lend a helping hand once in a while as this boosts your esteem, as well as that of others. Remove the attention from yourself and make someone else happy.
