What is Stress?

Stress is when we are stretched almost beyond our limits; when the challenges of life seem to exceed our intellectual and/or physical capacity to handle those challenges. When you are in a stressful situation, work like crazy to exit the situation and complete the challenge and then, once things have cooled off, work hard to develop greater intellectual and physical capacity. The key is, when faced with an apparently insurmountable challenge, respond aggressively to "challenge the challenge". Nip the problem in the bud. If you feel not in control, take a few deep breaths to help focus the mind and bring it back to the attacking, egoless state. Then continue the advance.
