Stress Is a Story You're Telling Yourself
DON'T ALLOW STRESS TO CONSUMER YOUR LIFE.
I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress lately in my life. I get wrapped up in it and tell myself (and others) how stressed I am.
This mentality ends up breeding even more stress, and it’s honestly not healthy.
As I listen to others around me, I’ve come to realize this is the norm. Despite all of the technology we have and all of our luxuries, we consider ourselves to be the most stressed generation.
That’s why I decided to bring you another great mashup talking about this stress from Amanda Enayati, Todd Kashdan, Lissa Rankin, and Arianna Huffington.
Stress, more than anything, is a mindset. It’s something we create ourselves in order to try and protect ourselves.
We even become stressed about the unknown. The possibility of infinite success, or infinite failure, naturally gets our emotions to focus the darker side of the world.
Instead, I challenge you to take the lessons from each of these clips. Apply them to your life and see just how much better you can make your life.
I’d love to hear what you think about this episode, and how you apply these lessons in your life - so don’t hesitate to reach out to me on social media and let me know how it’s been working for you.
