According to Attitude Reconstruction, "stress" means we've lost our healthy perspective about time and are governed by our suppressed fear. We're gripped by the future and what needs to be done and worry about our worst-case scenarios. Maybe we're off to college. Maybe we have an important interview. Maybe it's managing the household, kids, finances, and a job.
We've become so focused on how we'll maneuver to fit it all in, that we no longer stop to smell the roses or breathe in the fresh air. Desperately we strive to gain control over the unknown. And as a result, we call ourselves "stressed" out. Does this apply to you or someone you know?
