My definition of God is the ever-present essence of love.

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.

Your skin will get better, you're going to be more attractive, you're more likely to get a job - all the things you want, you will get as a result of being in a more calm place.

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.

Let go of what you think you need & what you really need will show up.

On a piece of paper, write down the thing that is stressing you, the obstacle that is in your way. Then put it in a box and just leave it there. At the end of about a week, dispose of it - throw it in the trash or bury it - some sort of ritualistic act of releasing it.

If you're living your life avoiding stress, you must be living on an ashram.
