Stress & Success: 2 Sides of The Same Coin
In our modern ‘always on’ culture, there are legitimate stressors for us to contend with, however many of our worries, do not warrant the energy and precious resources we waste on them.
By reframing stress, we can protect our health and build greater resilience.
Answering the following questions will help you reflect on the interconnection between stress and the most enjoyable and meaningful activities, roles and relationships in your life.
Answering these questions will also help you see how our anticipation of stress can prevent us from experiencing adventure, excitement, growth, and learning.
In reality, most of the stress we experience in modern life is self-imposed and comes from our thoughts. In the words of Mark Twain:
“I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.”
