Learn to benefit from having stress

Training your brain to do something different takes time. Retraining the mind cannot take place over night. You will have to have a lot of willpower as well. It is not going to be easy by no means but you can do it if you put your mind to it.

You can benefit from anything you want; it might just take some time to do it. If you are aware of your feelings and making very conscious healthy decisions about your thoughts and actions, you have learned to deal with your stress in the most life affirm way possible. Dealing with your stress is almost as hard as you make it. Once you have mastered your mind, you would have learned to train your brain to do what you want it to do instead of allowing your unconscious mind to control you.
