Joanne Smith argues that wellbeing doesn't require a perfect life. Instead of quitting your job or cutting off family to feel better, ask yourself: if you already felt amazing, would you still want to? Build stress tolerance through understanding its sources, not by waiting for everything to change.
So yeah, I'm going to summarise it because you don't need to have a stress-free life to feel well and feel better. We can increase our tolerance by having an understanding on what's really happening and where it's really coming from. So yeah, don't be waiting for that perfect life, start now. You don't need perfection, you don't need that Perfect job or anything like that. If— how I always look at it is I ask myself, if I was feeling amazingly well, would I want to change this job? Or if I was feeling amazing, would I still want to go visit my mum every week. Like, and because people are making drastic decisions believing that it's going to get them well, and imagine if you made that drastic decision and you still didn't get well. Like, you don't need to eliminate stress from your life.
