Our capacity to handle stress reveals our capacity to be successful in our lives. Meditating, taking care of yourself, and exercising are great, but when you are under stress, it's an even more important time to dedicate yourself to your self-care and self-sustaining activities.
When things are down, when life sends you its challenges, by keeping up with your daily practices and activities, you will make it through the crises and challenges. You will win so that you can live the quality life of health, happiness, and prosperity that you desire.
Life without crisis exists in a coffin -- Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga
