If we're having change that we can't control, we usually handle that with stress. It just increases the stress that we already have and may turn our stress into overwhelm. We can address stress either by hiding, running away, or just doing more and more trying to get ahead of that stress. But if you look at the totality of the human and break it into simple things called there's the mind of the human, the heart of the human, what we feel and how we experience, the body of the human, the energy that we carry in our bodies, if that's one way to break down the human and you optimize each of these disciplines, the mind and the heart and the body. Now, to your point, as you mentioned earlier, is we're showing up in the world at our best. And whatever the stimuli for that stress or overwhelm might be, we're better prepared for it than ever before, because our body part, if you what makes us whole, are already at their best. So we are at our best. And to your point, when that stress is really reduced and we enter into the stage of flourishing, it feeds our sense of wellness and our sense of being and purpose. So it just becomes this positive root.
