    My experience with stressors is that they are relative, and they scale to fit the available worry. I’m stressed about work, but from personal experience I have been just as stressed about being unemployed or about school. Therefore the stress is the common thing - if it is common then adjusting to the stress is more productive than avoiding the stresses.

    Hence meditation, exercise, meaningful relationships, etc.
