People get stress wrong all the time, in my opinion…
— Stress doesn’t come from hard work, stress primarily comes from not taking action over something you can have control over.
— If I find that some particular thing is causing me to have stress, that is a warning flag for me.
— What that means is… there is something that I haven’t completely identified, perhaps in my conscious mind, that is bothering me and I haven’t yet taken any action on it.
— I find, that as soon as I identify it and make the first phone call, or send out the first email message, or whatever it is that we are going to do to start addressing that situation, even if it is not solved.
The mere fact that we are addressing it dramatically reduces any stress that might come from it.
