I don’t think they mean “stop surviving”. They mean, if something extra would normally be extra stressful, like going to a friend’s wedding or hosting in laws for a week, tell them no. Or even just tell your boss “no” now and then. Say you can’t get that done in a week, refuse an unreasonable request here and there.
If you already are doing the bare minimum and still suffering stress… Wtf? Most people doing the bare minimum aren’t that stressed. The point is, you probably don’t know how to avoid stress, and saying no alone became stressful. You need to learn to avoid it.
People who let stress overtake their physical health have come into positions where they literally can’t conceive of the idea of “avoiding stress”. They’ve lived and breathed it. That’s the fucking problem, and your doctor isn’t going to fix that with a pill. You need to change how you live.
Most people doing the bare minimum are overwhelmed with the pressure of living paycheck to paycheck. Times are tough, especially when you do not have a financial fallback, are ill, and are making Min wage.
