Winning the battle

i believe that my stress level has been demagnified. Self-imposed pressure to excel must be tempered by the realization that the goals are worth working toward, no matter what the level of effort required at a given time. Results are cumulative, not instantaneous.

My realization to destress was that anger was breeding frustration which was breeding anger - there are too many more productive emotions available, than to dwell in anger and frustration. But that seems to be where we end up when drive for monetary resource is the focus of life.

Once the temporary goal has been achieved, creativity will flow and the energy orientation pattern will normalize to a new consistancy. Productive outlets need to be set in advance, so that energy of frustration can be redirected to productive use.

Positive affirmations of success work - remind yourself to thank the people that enable sanity in your world. Set your goals to be achievable in the time span that you wish for. Do not leave them open-ended with respect to time - you will never get there.
