What is stress ?
Stress is the interpretation of the present situation in the past context or future hope.

MANAGEMENT
Managing Health, Money, Business etc increases it. If you manage stress it will also increase. Thus Stress Management is counterproductive. Becoming aware of our interpretations is the key.

AWARENESS
Awareness

is continuous, simultaneous, nonjudgmental and total perception of internal and external environment

RIGHT ACTION
Effortless

Effort is the right action. Happens out of Awareness. Total awareness leads to absolutely right action.
