We all deal with stress. Some deal with it better than others.
Stress is your friend when you -
- View stress as a natural reaction and useful tool
- Accept stress as perception (not reality)
- Practice self-awareness
- Think of yourself in the 3rd person ("he/she" vs. "I")
- Avoid thinking traps
- Adopt a positive explanatory style
- Use stress as motivation
- Are aware of your coping mechanisms
- Practice healthy coping mechanisms
Stress is your foe when you -
- Fear and try to avoid stressful situations
- Accept stress as reality
- Discount self-awareness
- Personalize everything
- Fall into thinking traps
- Adopt a negative explanatory style
- Allow stress to demotivate
- Are unaware of your coping mechanisms
- Fall prey to unhealthy coping mechanisms
