Stress is caused by being "here" but wanting to be "there", or being in the present moment but wanting to be in the future. You can move fast, work fast, or run without projecting yourself into the future and without resisting the present. As you move, do it totally, enjoying the flow of energy at that moment. Or when you do nothing and the mind says "you should be working. You are wasting time" - observe the mind. Smile at it!

The fact that everyone else is doing it doesn't make it any less insane.

When you want to arrive at your goal more than you want to be doing what you're doing, you become stressed.

Stress is extremely harmful to the body. Even mainstream medicine is recognizing how many diseases stress causes.

Stress is a form of suffering. Look at your body and see what stress does to the body and its functions - what it does to the heart, the circulation, the immune system, the digestive function, the liver.

Stress means there is something wrong, and you are not aligned with life.

Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry

Even in a moment of stress, you can say, "OK, can I enjoy the doing itself? Can I enjoy the flow of energy of this moment?" And of course you can!
