Stress is a Curse?

Stress is a Curse?

“To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.” ― Leonard Bernstein


I read an article and the opening line was describing how stress is the curse of the 21st century. Really? If stress is a curse then so is living. Stress is unavoidable. Stress is a part of life; it is a necessary part of life. Stress is many things but a curse is not one of them. Stress is a driving force to get us from one state to the next. Stress is the reaction we have to stimulants in our lives. Think of it as generating the fuel we need to get through whatever situation we are dealing with. 

The message that I want to convey is that we must use our stress energy. We must be mindful of what is going on in our lives and address it in a constructive, forward motion manner. If we use the energy, transform the energy then we have taken control of our stress levels and not allowed it to control us. What we want to avoid is allowing our stress to become chronic and in turn negatively affecting our immune system.
