Good read. Most folks do not know how to let go. Stress in and of itself is neither bad nor good. It is how we react to it that shapes its impact on us. Letting go can be a great help. I think of the many self improvement books and 12 step books by author Melody Beattie. The are a valuable resource for learning those skills. For other folks praying and releasing that prayer to God is the answer. The key words is "release". That means letting the worry go and let God do all the worrying. That is His job not ours. We are not designed to worry as it can compromise our immune systems and reduce our resistance to illness by 50%. Stress can be a wonderful motivator. Yes how we deal with it is the key. I love your blog and diagrams. Thanks for sharing.
