All too often the trouble in which we are embroiled comes from our own making. The world is placing wildly unrealistic expectations upon you. Deadlines for this or that are swallowing you up. It’s left you wondering if what you’re striving is worth all this strain. Well, the answer is yes and no. Yes, because your aspirations are legitimate and quite necessary. No, because the stress is not good for you. So work on ways of reducing the strain. Relax, breathe deeply or meditate. Meditation doesn’t require sitting upside down in a lotus position. Just chill out and turn off the infernal racket of that radio that’s blaring away in your brain.
