Chapter 3-Stress, good? wtf.

Just some food for thought

 I can’t tell you how much this didn’t make sense at first. I had to watch it over. But this woman makes such a good point. Throughout all of this anxiety and stress this past year I always thought that it was a bad thing I need to rid my body of. Understanding that it is a part of life makes things slightly easier, for me anyway. She mentions how the belief alone of stress makes the chances of dying (for those who are obviously older and need to pay attention to these things) 43%! I am a firm believer that your thinking affects your actions. If you continue to have negative thoughts and surround yourself with worry some thoughts the more you will worry and choose to make decisions out of fear instead of actually living your life.
