Tips for managing stress

[drifter]

I think sometime we can be stressed out by the health of others, as I seem to be now. My daughter is going to have a stem-cell replacement next week and it has had me up tight for some time. Maybe because I don't know that much about it it, etc. I guess I'm hoping for the best outcome possible, with fingers crossed.

Another thing about stress ... by stressing-out about something you are giving power and importance to that thing, which is the last thing you want to do. You wouldn't give a gun to mugger who only has a knife, so why help your stressors along by giving them something they don't deserve?

Make them work for their rewards - ignore them, or, if that's impossible, make fun of them.

They HATE that!

Thank you. I really like that.

Surely some stress is caused by situations out with your control, like Drifter.
once understanding can be reached, and /or the situation resolves itself for any number of reasons, some of the stress is lifted?
