Cognitive reframing--the wonderful practice of looking at things in a more positive light in order to experience them as less stressful--is a simple and effective stress reliever. And there are unlimited opportunities to practice cognitive reframing to maintain a more optimistic (i.e. less stressful) world view.
Sometimes it helps to see how others can take lemons and make lemonade; sometimes it's nice to get a pat on the back for a brilliant example of cognitive reframing you've used in your own.I would be curious to see how YOU do this...let me know...
"Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I think the only way to be ready to serve the world in the best manner possible is to reframe the situation that is stressing you right now, then recognize that it is less important that what you have to do in life...and then take action. Your gifts are too important to hold back...reframe and enjoy the joy!

The Salix Path is a path of flexibility and harmony, yet deeply rooted - just like the Willow Tree. Our ideal in life is this very same thing - celebrate the wisdom of uncertainty and be clearly grounded in our personal values. When we can do this, stress melts away. Want to know how? There is so much to learn...contact me.
