Do you want 2026 to be the year that you finally unload that heavy-ass stress you've been carrying

around for months, for years, maybe even for decades? If so, I'm going to give you a simple

three-step plan that's going to help you live a life not completely free of stress because

that's not really possible, but a life of extremely minimized stress. If you look at stress kind of like

debt and you look at the opposite of stress, which is fulfillment and presence and joy, like income,

then it's a little bit easier to understand because, unfortunately, you can't live life without any

debt on planet Earth. You need some sort of funding

mechanism to pay for your existence in what we call civilized societies. Now, of course,

maybe you could live out in the forest somewhere, but you'd be on somebody's land, and once they

discovered you squatting on their land, they're going to try to get you to cough up some

money or some labor or something in exchange for existing on that land. And that's just the way it is.

But my point is, if you make enough income, then your debts are not going to hinder you from doing

whatever it is that you want to do. However, if your debts regularly exceed your income,

then you're going to have a lot of problems in life that wouldn't be there otherwise. So,

all you have to do in life is figure out how to make more money than your spending, and life

gets exponentially more liberating. And the same thing applies when it comes to stress. If you're

carrying a massive stress debt, then you're minimizing the amount of fulfillment and the amount of presence and the amount of joy that you could otherwise be experiencing in your life. And this is why we want to prioritize getting out of our stress debt in 2026. It's not cool to be stressed anymore. It's not sexy. It doesn't make

you more attractive and it certainly doesn't make you healthier or more successful. If anything,

stress works against you in all of those areas. It makes you anxious. It makes it hard for you to get

it up at night when it's sexy time. It makes you more prone to getting sick and you stay sick for longer and it repels potential

collaborators and business partners and helpers of any kind who may otherwise want to do

a deal with you or get into a relationship with you.
