"Life can throw a lot of you. Sometime it’s good surprises and other times it’s bad news, or some event that sends us into panic mode. Here’s the thing about that. If a real, physical threat happens—like a car suddenly coming around a corner and coming straight at you—our fight-or-flight response works wonders. It kicks in so we either jump out of the way of a threat or face the threat and fight it. The problem arises when events trigger stress, but it’s not a situation where we need to take off running or pull up our fists." - Sharen Ling
