You can't tell yourself that your stress is produced in your head and feel better. You still need to learn how to create a change.

If you're successful and stressed out, you're succeeding in spite of your stress, not because of it.

Stress is not the spice of life any more than arsenic is. And without it, you won't feel bored.

We need to distinguish between stress and stimulation. Having deadlines, setting goals, and pushing yourself to perform at capacity are stimulating. Stress is when you're anxious, upset, or frustrated, which dramatically reduce your ability to perform.

We all enjoy pushing ourselves to accomplish our objectives. But we don't need stress to get there.

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.
