Stress Management and Personal Power Dr. Cassone discussed stress management, differentiating between external stressors (e.g., car, house, relationships) and internal emotional states (e.g., love, fear, resentment). They emphasized cultivating a healthy internal spiritual state to reduce stress from external factors, linking this to personal power and acknowledging that internal upset can lead to a loss of motivation and a return to unhealthy habits. Dr. Cassone suggested practicing letting go of upset, rather than the situation itself, to regain power and offered joining the “grace plan group” for deeper exploration of these concepts.
