Any change, perceived as good or bad, is said to bring stress. I do not really want to bring such an unwelcome companion along with anything I do, anywhere I go. Stress is pesty and persistent; it seems to resist our best efforts to just stay calm or maintain inner peace.
After a loss of a loved one, a loss of a home, of a business, a marriage, and so forth, there is so much drastic change that stress can flood in like an uncontrollable surge through huge open doors -- an incoming flood that threatens to drown one, and for which there is no perceivable end!
There is a mental strategy.
And it works.
First, in order to have stress, you must have two powers, one pushing against the other. It's like pressing the palms of your hands together really hard for a sustained amount of time. If you suddenly took away one hand, however, then what? With one power, not two, there is no stress.
Second, prayerfully meditate on God, Good, Love, as the one Power.
Third, after your meditation, consciously state the fact of one power operating in the universe to every circumstance and situation.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
