Practicing Stress

It is said that practice makes perfect. We rehearse musical instruments, practice sports, learn new languages by repeating words. These skills ingrain themselves within us and we become proficient. Do emotional and physiological reactions work the same way?

We’ve all heard that we are what we think we are. And perhaps being stressed is one of those things. Since we can’t avoid all causes of negative stress, we may need to practice those techniques that get us out of the stress zone and back to our center, back to peace.
