What is stress-resilience?
Stress isn't something to cut out of your life BUT to learn how to work with it to make yourself strong.
As we get older, what stresses us out becomes more complex.
We outgrow small stresses and take on bigger stresses. And most of the time we just want to get through it all and take a nice long holiday afterwards. Unfortunately, we rarely take time to improve our skills at dealing with these stresses. And because they are still there, it requires more holiday to recuperate or we start building up levels of chronic stress.
Stress resilience is the ability to manage stress and increase our relationship to stress.
What is the problem right now in the world today is that people misunderstand what their needs are when it comes to stress.
A lot of people try all these things that they think are going to help them out. Meditation, breathwork, yoga.
And sometimes they do help, and sometimes they don't — because they are not always right for the situation or for the client. A lot of the time, the physical things to help you cope with stress are really more about stress at the moment and how to create a body that is a little bit more resistant to stress not a mind.
But neuroscience is showing us more and more that stress is based on your perception. And perception is much more complex. Neuro-resiliency is more about creating resiliency, using mental strategies that can change perception without just going into the woo woo sphere and other spiritual beliefs
We're talking about how to use techniques that can create a type of fluency around a situation that gives us confidence that takes away any type of discomfort or fear, and allows us to almost practice the situation so that it's familiar.
There is nothing worse than not knowing how to shift something, feeling stuck or somehow fated to do the same old thing. "how" we think is usually the issue, and I don't mean the woo woo I mean how we automatically judge something because of our neurology.
Stress triggers you, creating more stress, each bit of stress means you are less creative, less in control, less able to rise to the challenge of work.
Now imagine just practising this again and again until you die. You will become that person who avoids stress, cuts it out.
What does that mean?
People who avoid stress rarely take chances, avoid trying new things and avoid seeking to better themselves because they are so busy recovering from all the stress.
This is not for you if you are trying to cut stress out of your life.
Moving away from stress does create breathing room and allow you to stabilize. No hacks here, only genuine mental change through targeted exercises.
This is for you if you want to become more resilient.
Learn to think better and faster so stress becomes a friend, and actually you begin to enjoy it. Changing your relationship with pressure and information will increase your health, your productivity and therefore your wealth.
Less time on spent is great for your health and your wealth, increasing your time with people, which always helps your health. Your sense of satisfaction with yourself increases, which means your health increases with all the positive emotions, and your leadership ability is also impacted which is great again for your health and your wealth.
Imagine yourself…
…able to accept uncertainty, being optimistic regardless of the situation, flexible and creative. Imagine being able to overcome your issues with strategy rather than survival and mastering the stress-reflex which is built into you. Thinking clearly, making the best decisions for the moment and managing the amount of energy that your body spends on worrying and being anxious.
Now imagine the opposite. Imagine you never learn these skills. Imagine being another statistic. Being one of the 40% of workers reported their job was very or extremely stressful, one of the 25% who view their jobs as the number one stressor in their lives, being one of the 26% of workers said they were “often or very often burned out or stressed by their work
