Summary

Although we often feel that stress is caused by external factors, "...my boyfriend makes me stressed!" "...My sales targets are making me stressed!" -- it's actually more useful for us to recognize that stress is something that comes from within ourselves. To control our response and eradicate stress, we must discover the real causes of the way we feel. Xandria Williams' effective 10-step approach shows clearly how we can achieve this, including understanding what you mean by "stressed" -- are you worried? angry? resentful? guilty? Identify your worst case scenario, believe in a positive future, set realistic goals, and understand the physical causes of stress.
