I Don’t Need Stress!

I don’t need stress
I can finish my work calmly and smoothly
without stressing myself or worrying about things that may or may not happen at all.

I don’t need stress
Stress is like a rocking chair
that gives me something to do without getting me anywhere.

I don’t need stress
Stress is a burden to my health and my well-being
and the money I earn while stressing myself may only be spent in restoring the health I lose

I don’t need stress
Stress isn’t faster or more productive or more efficient
Stress creates errors and wasted efforts that could have been avoided early on.

I don’t need stress
I can very well perform the job I love in such a phase and rhythm that soothes me
I create balance and wholeness and stress wouldn’t prevent me from living the life I choose!
