I know that stress can be caused by a lot of things. Your job, finances, family situation, commute or a combination of all of these things. You may feel that you never have time to do the things you need or want to, that there aren't enough hours in the day.
Although I don't have the answers  as to how you can resolve all the areas in your life that put you under pressure, there is something that I have learnt (and am still learning!) that makes a difference to how stressed I feel, and it's very simple indeed. 
It involves resolving to ban two words from thoughts and my actions. They are..
'I'll just...'
​

So many of the people I meet have learnt to live with something. It might be pain, lack of movement, poor sleep or being unable to do the things they once loved. They have reduced their expectations of what is possible, normal or OK for them. That's not to say that they are happy about it, usually quite the opposite in fact, but it has just become a fact of life and they believe that there is very little that can be done to change that.
But how many of us, even if we don't have anything hugely wrong with us, accept a slightly poorer standard of wellbeing? What happens when we put up with a little niggle thinking that is just part of being human? What happens when we accept 'kind of lousy' as our benchmark for 'normal'?
