Quote Of The Day: Goldberg "Stress Is An Ignorant State"
|
|
Natalie Goldberg is a published author and self-help clinician. Her quote today fits the bill:
Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.
An important part of lowering stress is learning to say "a high quality 'no'", as Eckhart Tolle would call it. Being connected with the present moment and seeing clearly that something a person is asking you to do simply does not fit into your life without causing more anxiety. There are times when I am successful at that "no," but I still take on more than I can handle on a regular basis.
