It's a Sign From Above
Loretta LaRoche
Stress Expert and Author

In all the years I’ve been talking about stress, I keep hearing the same things from people: “My life is so stressful I can’t stand it!” “What can I do to get rid of stress in my life?” “I’ so stressed our I can’t sleep or eat.” “Please help me get rid of my stress!” “I have no room for stress is my life!”

The first things I want people to understand is this: Thank god you have stress in your life. You should be on your knees saying thank you to your stress every day. The only time your ever going to have a life without stress is when you are dead. I think we should have a little mantra that we say to ourselves: “Bless this stress; it helps me see that I’m a mess!”

What is it about our society that’s made us think stress is such an enemy? It’s all we talk about isn’t it?

I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling stressed from listening to everyone talk about their stress!

We act as if stress is a horrible by-product of our overwrought society; that stress is a disease that needs to be cured; that stress is something that needs to be eradicated from our lives in order for us to find a healthy and peaceful existence.

But stress isn’t something to try to disguise or eradicate. Stress is a signal. When you recognize it, and work with it instead of against it, you can learn a lot about what you need to do to be happier and healthier. Stress is actually a blessing that can help you realize when you need to make changes in your life.
