Stress, Mostly Is... Brought Upon Own Self

Today's ninety-year-old-plus age group... just think how stressful some life stretches must 

have been for them.... the Depression, surviving WWII...

then from black and white television to color, turboprop planes to supersonic jets, from landlines to wireless... specially so for those "must-have-it-must-do-it" type personalities.  In so far a span of a lifetime though, most are in good graces still because of how they, one way or another, coped with and managed stress... stress being easily the root source of many an ailment. Thus, so often engaging become the exchanges... revealing and inspiring are the stories we gather from said group.

Let's bring the situation in perspective to the changes we so face now

this digital age... the frequency and degree of which can be unnecessarily so overwhelming. I sometimes would lightheartedly offer that, "an issue I have with technology today is, the offering of solutions to problems that don't exist yet... to a point where user-society is prompted to go ahead then... create the problem".

In hoping to lay as much a bridge in facilitating understanding generational and relative individual challenges in managing stress...  this personal synopsis and list of points I then wish to share.  

• Positive attitude is incessantly cultivated, nurtured and exercised... for self to remain well ingrained with.
• Regular revisit of personal goals and values... to label, prioritize, synchronize.
• Acceptance of the present must first be a condition prior to one "moving on". 
• When one doesn't have time for "it"... "it" is then absolutely not a necessity.
• Recognize own threshold when an acquisition will hence, in return... mean giving up one, or more even.
• Setbacks are temporary and are lessons learned rather than failures.

Cheers!
