Letting go of control, that's actually when you're safe.

Much of our anxiety and stress comes when we're focused on fear and disconnected from the voice of our inner guide.

You have to know your triggers for stress and then have rituals for combating them.

If you clear that negative feeling and forgive yourself, then you can see the world from a different lens. You stop attracting that same type of experience. You can set yourself free.

If your stress is related to another person, finding forgiveness - changing your thoughts and energy around that person - can lower stress.

For me, if I get up and don't meditate and don't eat something before having caffeine, I go from 0 to 10 on the stress scale.

You let go of the past, and stop bringing the past into the present and replaying it into the future. You release guilt, shame, and you can create an entirely new pattern for yourself.
