Many of us live from habits and patterns we created early in life, some of which serve us and some which do not. While we may think that stress is caused by outer circumstances negatively affecting us, that is never the case. Rather, stress is caused by our own relationship with our thoughts and how we react to situations we are confronted with each day.

When we base our happiness on having conditions, circumstances, and things that only please us, we set ourselves up for unnecessary suffering. But by freeing the mind from these self-imposed limitations, we can experience the joy of being and expressing our one true self.

But what first needs to happen is to learn how to overcome stress, take authority over your thoughts, and awaken to your wholeness so you can become the powerful person you are meant to be. It is well worth the effort it takes to awaken from the human dream of limitation and separateness, master your mind, and joyfully live stress-free — to fully thrive in life.
