Stress gets a bad wrap.
It’s the boogeyman everyone wants to escape.
The menacing creature nagging at your pleasure.
The disastrous word incites visceral reactions in so many.
Yet it is a neutral tool that is so ordinary it need not be discussed.
Stress is life. The moment you’re conceived, your life of stress begins. There is no way around it mate.
It tickles me that people want to numb themselves from stress.
Ride highs to numb themselves from it.
Or vacay the natural strain away.
Sounds what I imagine being a conscious vegetable in comatose feels like.
At any rates, it leads You to 2 choices.
Accept stress as pain or to accept it as focus.
I prefer the latter since we stress when things need our attention, which again is every single moment.
Basically it is our focus, and throughout the day we have to read the room to see what demands our best attention. If not we end up with much less than we desire, which is ultimately why the world is as it is.
So I train to have more stress. To handle more focus, and to harness that focus so I make the most of each moment.
In a world full of distractions vying for your attention, it seems smart to want to harness your discretion, or focus.
While others run or try to manage their stress, I seek it out and pile more on my plate.
Think of it as progressive overload.
This is how you turn cumbersome chores you have to do into challenges you GET TO do because it makes you stronger.
Who would want to run away from that blessing?
That’s the stressful decision you get to make today, and every day.
Growing stronger is a beautiful thing.
Means you know your worth and want to get your money’s worth before you leave this life.
The alternative means you close the window of opportunity forever.
That’s why I’m offering my course on stress ‘management’ to you — my
revolutionary mindset program which shows you exactly how to enhance your mind, body, and spirit so you can enjoy stress.
With a Take Charge Mindset, there is nothing that can rattle, phase, or distract you. Unless of course, you choose to be distracted, which certainly has its place (more on this later).
Take Charge or Be Ignored,
