The happier and more stress-free you are, the more people will want to be around you and the more your friends will respect you.

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

The simple intention to surrender control is all you need to experience miracles.

First you have to witness that you are stressing out: Oh, my trigger is here. The news is stressing me out or This line is so long. Let yourself feel it. You don't want to spiritually bypass these problems. Give yourself a couple of minutes to sit in the feeling. Acceptance sets you free from the stress of expectation.

If you stay in that new flow of positive behavior, it's hard to revert back to old patterns. But if you do fall off, just forgive yourself, recover quickly, and get right back on.

The more difficult it is to forgive someone the greater the opportunity for spiritual growth.

What makes me vulnerable is speaking up about topics that may be controversial to others.
