Stress is a common cause of frustration, 
illness, and exhaustion—

2
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,600
but it doesn’t need to be normal for you.

00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:18,600
You can get a handle on your stress levels 
by being aware of what you think.

00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:25,000
Susan Stiffelman stated, “You cannot get 
stressed out unless you believe your thoughts.

5
00:00:25,100 --> 00:00:29,000
All stress is precipitated by stressful thinking.”

6
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:34,300
When your thoughts are filled with fear and 
worry, your stress levels will rise.

00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,900
When they are filled with faith and peace, 
your stress will be less.

8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,100
If you want to know whether you’re in faith 
or fear, take a look at your mind.

00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,100
Holding onto anxious thoughts is a choice 
to hold onto stress;

10
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,700
holding on to faith allows confidence to 
follow.
