We need to remember that physical manifestations of stress normally occur when our feelings (being neither right nor wrong) are in the driver's seat.
Getting the above perspective is not easy when you are in the frying pan, which is why it’s important to have approaches for resetting yourself, e.g. taking a walk, breathing, meditating, etc. as already mentioned.
