Know where your're going

I've been on holidays from work over the last two weeks. I purposely did not organise my life over that time. It has been a lesson on a cause of stress.
Many times we can get stressed because we don't really know what we want to achieve. We engage in a purposeless manner. However, at a subconscious level we may have expectations. Drifting consciously may not satisfy this internal yearning. When we do this we can have "stress on tap".
So, knowing where you're going can be a great stress eliminator
