Stress is usually from our judgments. We judge something as bad or wrong or terrible or unjust. Then we create lots of uncomfortable feelings inside ourselves, and they add up to stress.
What happens when we don't judge, but accept things as they are? We may want them different, but not get angry or fearful or stressed about it.
This used to seem impossible to me. I thought if I wasn't upset, it meant I didn't care. I thought if I wasn't upset, I wouldn't make any effort to change things.
Now I know that I can care very much and not be stressed about a situation. Without the stress I have a lot more energy to do what I can to change a situation.
