BE STRESS WISE
We are the children of survivors. Our parents and ancestors faced tremendous pressures and threats to stay alive. Our ancestors faced death in many forms – Famine, Disease, Terrible Storms, Wars and much more. They lived under the harshest conditions as Slaves, Poor Peasants, Cave Dwellers, Nomads, etc. Yet they survived. Through their struggle for survival they bestowed a great blessing and gift on us – the ability to survive and the hope of new life, a better life.
Today we have the chance to do more than just Live One More Day. We can control many of life's great dangers. We have warm homes to shelter us, we have enough food to eat and to share, we have many ways to heal disease and we can choose not to war. While stress is not really anything new, we now understand that in dealing with all of life's pressure there is a cost. The internal war or struggle in our body and minds can cost us very dearly – even life itself. But we don't have to be a victim. Just as we learned to build homes and sow great fields of grain, we can learn to care for our inner health in a whole new way. That's what this book is all about. Going beyond survival by being Stress Wise.
