EP 376: How to Effectively Handle Life's Many Challenges
b'I get asked a lot for tips on how to deal with the stress and/or anxiety from a specific event happening in someone\\u2019s life.\\nAnd while I always try to help by offering simple, on demand relaxation techniques, I do so with reservation.\\nNot because I don\\u2019t want to help people get past this particular struggle.\\nBut because it is overwhelmingly likely that it will be like putting a band aid on a wound that requires deeper solutions.\\nStress is caused by life\\u2019s external experiences.\\nAnd life has no shortage of these, for sure!\\nSo when we try to address stress in reaction - that is, after we\\u2019ve been triggered - it is often a losing battle.\\nBut when we develop a new, foundational way to respond to life\\u2019s difficulties, we can avoid the stress response entirely.\\nThis is where a daily practice comes in.\\nWould you like to develop a daily practice that will allow you to live free from the damaging stress response?'
