Remember as a kid how difficult it was learning to ride a bike?

It's like, hey, here's this fun thing you should learn, but it only has two wheels,

and you can't really stay balanced on it, and good luck if you're on a hill.

But wait, hold on, hold on, don't do it without a helmet. Why do I need a helmet?

Well, you're probably going to bust your head if you don't wear one. Um, what? Okay.

Then here's some elbow pads. What? For, for what? Well, you're probably going to fall a few times.

And this will help in case it's, you know, too serious.

Seriously, I thought this was supposed to be fun.

What were they thinking?

Learning anything new will always have its challenges, no matter what age, but those life

lessons, which seemed difficult then, are things that we laugh about now, riding a bike,

tying your shoes, learning to drive. But one thing we're never taught is how to cope with stress.

Why is something so important so overlooked?

Everyone generally knows the warning signs when our bodies are telling us we're under too much stress,

but what to do about it is rarely taught, which means it's usually swapped under the rug and never

mentioned. Why is that? We know how to cook three or four meals, make two or three cartels even,

but when it comes to stress or anxiety, we panic and completely shut down and just hope it never comes back.

But spoiler alert, it always does.

So I want to teach you two life lessons and what to do with stress.

We don't hope our shoes tie themselves or hope that the mobile phone service doesn't get

turned off. We've learned over the years how to lace up a pair of nikes or that we need to pay the phone bill.

But not having an instinctual go-to when panic creeps in isn't just paralyzing.
