Zen of Crushing Stress Now! - Healthy Living - E-book - ePub

We can beat stress, crush it. It is in our hands. What's going on here? Why are my hands shaking and heart racing? The doc said my blood pressure is up a little. He claims it's stress. What stress? Me, stressed out? As soon as I get the kids out the door, I'll jump in my car and drive like crazy to get to my meeting on time. Honk, honk! Why can't these guys get a move on? I need to reach my office.
Could my doc really be right? He's pretty smart. He says everybody and his cousin is stressed out these days. Even my wife keeps saying I'm all stressed out. And she's a smart lady. I guess I might be just a touch stressed out. Oh, breakfast? Quick stop at Starbucks, gulp down the coffee, inhale my bagel, and I'm good to go. If I'm late, Jim next door will get the promotion. Can't let that happen.
I promised my wife a new Jaguar for her birthday. If you get on the highway from Boston and head south, you'll reach Florida. If you don't want that, you need to change course. If we want to avoid being sooooo stressed out all the time, and we don't like what chronic stress can do to us-we need to change course.
