You cannot do all you should be doing when you are strained. Take time to be alone, and do something simple, something you enjoy doing, but let it be of your own choosing, not something someone else has suggested. As you do it, you will find yourself able to see everything from a different level of consciousness. The weight will be lifted, and you will find you will be able to do far more. Also, never try to look too far ahead; that in itself can cause great strain and distress. You can only take one step at a time, so take that one step, and the next will follow at exactly the right time. Let life unfold, and do not try to manipulate it. Do not get annoyed and impatient when things do not work out quite as you had expected they would. Instead, look for and see the purpose and plan running through all that is taking place, and realise that all is for the very best.

当我处于压力中时，我就无法做到我本应去做的。花时间跟自己相处，并且做一些简单的事情，一些我享受去做的事情，但让它是我自己的选择，而不是其他人所建议的。当我这样做时，我会发现自己能够从另一个意识层面看待一切事物。重担会被举起，而我会发现自己能做的更多。

同样，永远不要试图去看得太远，这本身就会导致巨大的压力与紧迫感。我每次只能走一步，因此去走那一步，然后，接下来的一步，就会在正好对的时机到来。让生活展开，并且不要试图操纵它。不要变得不耐烦和失去耐心，当事情没有按照我所期望的那样发生时。而是，寻找并看见所发生的一切背后的目的与计划，意识到一切都是为了最好的。
