43 Questions That Will Free Your Mind

Currently, one of our main barriers is stress. Much of it has to do with work, and the emotional strain of overcoming it or avoiding it. It’s true we suffer from stress when we have too much to get done, but we can also feel stressed in the complete opposite situation: if we have too much free time.

In any situation where stress accompanies us every day, we need to use some resources to try to find a healthy emotional balance for ourselves. Stress can cause or promote many diseases that, in the long run, will be difficult to resolve.

“Keeping our body in good health is our duty. Otherwise we wouldn’t be capable of keeping our mind strong and clear.”

-Buddha Gautama-
