Hey, this is Leo for actualized.org, and in this video, I'm going to talk about how to manage your stress, stress management. Wow, I mean so many of us are stressed these

days and we're stressed about all sorts of things. How do we bring that stress under

control? Wouldn't it be nice to create a life that is

stress-free that gives you peace of mind and a stability and a equanimity.

Equanimity meaning calmness of mind, evenness of mind, that can last out throughout

the whole day no matter what happens, no matter what the circumstances are, you can still remain

calm. How do we go about creating that? Let's actually

dig in and take a look at what stress really is, how it's created, what areas in

your life are most affected by it, and then give you some solutions for how to

tackle this problem at the root at the core all right so stress I mean none of us

like to feel stressed but so many of us today are overwhelmed for various reasons.

Either relationships have a stressed or money has a stressed or lack of time and work has a stressed or other areas in our lives but those three I would

say are the pillars but let's take a look let's take a look at what stress is what is going on when you're stressed? Well, it's a chemical response, isn't it?

It's a series of emotional responses within your body, but also a series of thoughts that are going on at the same time.

That's ultimately what stress is.

If you actually do an introspection to your own consciousness when you are stressed and you

just observe yourself, that's what you're going to find.

You're going to find that you have thoughts that are coming up and you're going to have

emotions that are coming up and probably those two are going to be intermingling together and that

intermingling is fairly complex.

So your thoughts will be creating negative emotions

and your negative emotions will also be creating negative thoughts.
