Avoidable and Unavoidable Stress

Stress is unavoidable.

Because, well, life happens.

But not ALL stress is unavoidable.

And this is where preparation and organization come in.

For those who spend the time today anticipating stresses tomorrow, while they are in a low-stress state, they will be in a much better position to have fewer high-stress states and have them of shorter duration.

But not everyone thinks this way.

I just prefer to relentlessly minimize avoidable stress.
