Stress is a belief you can't let go of

A belief that "I'm right"

When you believe that you're right and you're stubborn about it, and you want to control the situation that you have no control over, and you still insist on trying to control it.

That's stress.

Pretty much you can't solve anything from a fearful, stressful state. I wouldn't say "anything" but my problems, are not going to be solved by staying in a stressful state.

When you focus on what you hate, then you start noticing it everywhere, and it magnifies all the problems.

Like, I'm driving down the road, and I'm looking at the speed limit, and I'm angry with someone, somewhere - some kind of 'money that could be taken from me", or the government, or the way that the system works.
I'm driving into the staff carpark, and I'm angry that I can't park anywhere without getting a fine.

You walk into walk, and you're feeling like crap and other people might be happy but you don't even notice it or other people might need your compassion - which is something I noticed yesterday, is that I was "irritated" with people, and that's not me. Everything was "yuck", and I don't like that I was like that, and I know that it was all because I was in my own head, in my own woes/stress, and that attracts other woes/stress, so you start finding problems with everything because you're in a bad state.

If I get in a more positive state, I'll start seeing solutions everywhere. You attract more of where you're at. If you're feeling like crap, you attract other people who are feeling like crap. When you're feeling good, you attract other people who are feeling good and also you have compassion and you can share your positive energy with those who aren't feeling so good.

If there was more positive people around, I would step up my game.

At work, it is quite a low vibration - we try, but generally, we need more people who are lifting the spirits of people - especially around Christmas when there's a lot of stress because of materialistic bullshit, but they all have money-issues around Christmas because they all feel obligated to buy, buy, buy and spend money on family and friends. And generally because of the way we're living, rent, utilities, and $800 registration and $700 insurance and roadside assistance, all our daily things are so expensive, there's a lot of stressful, agitated vibes as they try and keep up with each other, and still think that buying presents for people is going to prove their love to them.

They could say, let's not do presents this year or just buy for the kids. 2 presents instead of 20, 30, 40.

Stress doesn't solve anything, this frame of mind, when I feel icky in my stomach. "I don't want to be here, I'm going to be stuck here forever, got no solutions" etc. That's just going to keep me in that same space, and I need to get out of it.
