We live in an era where stress is one of the most common words used among different groups of people, each of them experiencing his or her unique stress. Healing from stress is stressful for many individuals, and since most people run away from suffering, few want and know how to heal from stress.
It takes a lot of courage and even a dose of madness to enter the fight for a stress-free life. Stress is the last resort, and healing is your intimate relationship with yourself. Accepting your stress means being able to willingly look beyond your stress masks, the illusion, the surface, and all the lies you tell yourself.

Harmony

Harmony is a state that can be obtained by allowing yourself to feel stressed, and by aligning what we think what we feel, and what we do. When we are at peace with ourselves we do not feel the need to stress from the most stupid little things in our life. The balance between what we think, feel and do can easily be disturbed if we allow ourselves to be influenced by elements coming from outside, stress being one of them.

Tips to help you reduce stress

Breathe

Pick a song that you like and feel free to listen to how many times you like until you feel more comfortable.

Lemon Water

Lemon water is a great way to calm yourself from a stressful day.
