Stress and thinking are the same. You can’t have stress without thought and its bag full of emotions coming into your mind for a stay.

RAIN is Buddhism; Conscious Breathing is Buddhism and Eckhart Tolle; Allow & Forgive is the teaching of Jesus, and Stretching to release tension is Yoga. Of course they all mix it up a bit, but you get the idea.
