Journal k31's Journal: Tension

If

Tension = stress / strain;

positive stress motivates,
positive strain indicates effort towards acheivement,
dis-stress (anti-positive stress) inhibits thought, action, and "right feeling",
pressure is caused by forces moving against strain; which actually retard effort whilst increasing expended energy for the same result.

That's my theory (partially) so far, which can be re-written as:

Personal Tension = (stress less dis-tress) / ( strain less pressure)

Relaxation comes, thusly, in two forms: stress/strain and dis-tress/pressure. Why the latter? Well, that's stockholm syndrome type relaxation... security to follow vs. freedom and opportunity to achieve.

(Relaxation is positive P.T; Despair is sub-zero P.T.)
