Stress
A stress-free mind is the birthright of everyone
Root of Negativity
Have you ever wondered how a negative thought arises? If you attend to the source of negative thoughts, you will realize that they come because of tension and stress. A relaxed, happy person will not get negative thoughts. The more miserable one is, the more negative thoughts come.
Not Motivating
Tension or stress is not the main motivating factor for people to do more or to do anything creative. Usually, people say necessity is the mother of invention. But in the last 40 years, no major invention has come out of Afghanistan or Lebanon or Beirut, which have been under huge tension and stress.
Hanging onto Small Things
Stress is when your mind is not open to the vastness, it is bent on small little things, insignificant things anyway, they all change and you hold on to those which are changing all the time and then get worked up.

A Life Changing Experience
Stress is when there's too much to do, too little time & no energy left. Either you reduce the workload, which doesn't happen these days, or you increase the time. That also doesn't happen. When you are tired, you want to take more time for yourself to recuperate. So the only visible option you are left with is to increase your energy level.
