I believe that stress is the major source of our illness, really over and above diet, genetics, even treatment. That's a very big statement. Stress though is psychological, right? Events don't cause stress. What causes stress are the views you take of the event. So if you open it up and you're more mindful and if you said to yourself, rather than this thing is going to be awful, give yourself five reasons why it might actually be an advantage. So now it could be awful, could be advantageous, you're immediately somewhat relaxed. But I say go the next step. Let's assume it does happen. What are the advantages, the worst case scenario and what are the advantages?
