"Everybody talks about the weather - nobody does anything about it." Mark Twain
Stress is like the weather - it is a fact of life in 21st century. However we can choose our reaction to it. Different things create stress for each of us, and we react to stress differently. Ignoring stress does not change the bad effects it has on you, your relationships, and your life. Challenging situations interfere with your natural flow of life. It is your reaction to them that can make the situation better or worse.

Resourceful people have learned how to stay in the natural flow of life. They neutralize their fear and anxiety that comes up in challenging situations allowing them to find positive responses and solutions. That is possible because they know themselves and how they react in a challenging situation. So they are able to have multiple ways to mitigate their reactions and choose constructive ways to handle challenges.
