Nothing Outside You Can Cause Stress - August 11th

"You don’t catch stress the way you catch a cold." This comment from one of Liz’s clients is the focus of today’s 5 Minutes in Nature. Imagine if you truly realized that nothing outside of you has the power to make you feel stressed. Stress doesn’t come from situations or circumstances—it arises from the stories and thoughts we create in our own minds.

Thank you 🙏

Interesting thoughts today, Liz! I agree with you that it's our own thoughts about a situation that makes it stressful. However, many of us 'learnt' as children that we were 'failing' our parents' expectations and that it was our fault. One has to completely unlearn all that before we can appreciate we are the master of our own thoughts. It's very easy to blame someone or something else for our stress as we've been brought up to believe that we have been the cause of someone else's stress or expectation.

Thanks Liz 🙏🏼
