When you understand this you can understand that it is important to take a moment to ask yourself if you are prone to stress.
• Does your body feel tight from time to time when you forget to think about relaxation?
• can't stop the thoughts in your mind?
• Are your thoughts spinning over and over?
• Put your attention on your breathing. Is your breath short and high?
• do you get offended when something bothers your projects?
• Do you believe yourself less than you had planned?
• do you feel stressed when you think about all the things you still have to do?
