And what is #Stress #Management then?

2 . A quote to get inspired from: “The truth is that stress doesn’t come from your boss, your kids, your spouse, traffic jams, health challenges, or other circumstances. It comes from your thoughts about your circumstances.”
~Andrew Bernstein.
Stress is created due to external circumstances, but still, you can’t blame them for it, because ultimately, you create it on yourself.
