Here's a recap of the main points of the first night:

There is no such "thing" as stress. Stress is what is known as a nominalization; a verb or description of a process that has been altered and appears or sounds like a noun, or "thing"

We engage in the process of stressing.

Any state, feeling, or emotion is the result the follwing 3 actions(Magic Triangle)

1. The way we use our body or physiology.

2. The internal maps we create

3. The stories we tell ourselves

When we use our body in a more useful way, we create a more empowering state.

Poorly designed, or highly inaccurate "maps" will contribute to poor states

When we are feeling "negative" or less than resourrceful, the stories we are telling oursleves are probably not the best interpretation of what our situation means, that we are capable of creating.

Optimal states result from telling better stories, becoming aware of, altering and updating our "maps" and shifting our physiology into new patterns of use.
