Stress and Motivation

Aaron, Early detection is important to reduce the overall trauma to the physical body. It is good to recognize it early and when we have cognizance of the situation. The one thing we do have control of is our mind when it comes to how we are thinking. We can approach our challenges in different ways and how we do that is up to us. The consequences are either positive or negative depending on our choices.
