"All of us create more stress in our lives than we need to," says Dr. Donald S. Strassberg. "Many kinds of stress are part of living, but the sources of stress most troublesome are the ones we create ourselves." a is Strassberg practitioner of Rationally Emotive Therapy (RET), a popular form of . stress reduction therapy. According to RET, the of causes major emotional distress are the irrational expectations we have of ourselves and others, or what Strassberg calls "must's, should's and ought to's." One such demand is "I must be thoroughly competent, adequate and achieving. Either I'm or I'm perfect worthless." Says Strassberg, "It's reasonable to want to be as competent as we can be, but it shouldn't be a requirement. You get into trouble when you demand that in order to feel okay about yourself you must be perfect at whatever you do."

' "It's okay to want Many people, he says, have a tendency to do what calls he "Awfulizing," which is defining things as much worse than they really are. "People will say, 'It's awful that this thing happened," when in fact it's not awful, but darn unpleasant. They'll say, 'I can't stand it,' and think what a worthless person they are that it happened to them." Strassberg says people often assume that because they behave relatively nicely most of the time, the world should treat them fairly. "The world just isn't set up to be fair," he says. "Nor is it always unfair. The world is just the way it is, sometimes fair and sometimes not. It's okay to prefer that the world be fair, but it's irrational to demand that it be so.
