Consider this thought: "a balenced state is not equal parts working equally it is navigating the tension between unequal and often very opposing forces."
When stress or tension presents in our lives, our initial response tends to be avoidance. Moving away from the stress or tension seems to give us the impression of relief or comfort. However; rarely does avoidance or elliminating the stress result in actual change or learning that would be valuable in dealing with stress or tension. Moving into the tension or "facing the tension" can provide a better resolution.
Next time stress or tension enters your life; feel it, sit with it, observe it, accept it, learn from it. From there you may be able to make better decisions and not have to repeat it all over again another day.
