Stresslessness : noun (strɛslɪsnɪs) : living life free from stress
Most of the stress you experience is caused by thoughts about the situation we’re in, not the situation itself.
You spend so much time listening to unhelpful thoughts in your head, often not even realising that this ‘virtual reality’ is different to the ‘actual reality’ around you.
This can be exhausting, and stops you achieving our potential.
But there is another way.
If hunters want to catch a monkey they put a banana, into a hole. The entrance to the hole is only just wide enough for the monkey to get its hand in.
The monkey grabs the banana, and is then stuck.
All it has to do to free itself is drop the banana.
But it doesn’t.
It’s not the banana causing the problem. The issue is the monkey not letting go.
The same is true for unhelpful thoughts If we hold onto them we’re trapped, struggling, not aware of the damage it’s causing. Or that’s there’s a way to free ourselves from the stressful thoughts.
