I strongly believe in meditation. Meditation trains the mind to release judgment. So many times we feel someone else is "making" us be stressed. But nobody else can make you be stressed. It is your own mind which chooses to react or not react to the world around it. For example, some people might find New York City streets to be quite stressful. Others could find those streets to be soothing and comforting. It is all about how we perceive things.
If we don't choose to change our perceptions, then we ourselves are the ones really allowing the stress to continue.
