I heard this little gem the other day and have been thinking of its implications ever since.
"Dealing with stress is like exercise, the more you practice the better you get."
Despite the anonymity of the author, I should claim it, the message, advice, counsel, sagacity, merit, altruism and utter wisdom of it should be enough to cause deep consideration. In you as it did in me.
Be it physical stress, resistance, mental, spiritual or the relentless emotional type so favored by the current administration and their fascist toadies (to get you to buy their lies, falsehoods or agendas), a price is paid with every repetition. And as we know repetition is key.
We can hide. We can take cover. We can try to tune out. We can march. We can confront. We can look the other way. We can turn to isolation and the safety of our living rooms, taverns or opium dens.
They, in turn, produce additional stress. The only chain you are shackled to is the one housed in your mind.
Meaning, bottom line, that we have but a few plays left to run. And if we are to be successful, we need everyone on the team to be fit, strong, committed, focused and ready. In other words we need to practice.
And practice. And then practice.
We can deal with this stress folks. Please stay strong and don't give up or in.
Thematically, next time you saddle up, send a dossier of positive vibrations in the direction of that bright and powerful light we call love.
Practice that. Often.
Our lives are dependent upon it.
