money guidance and how to get rich_402 Navigation: Main page » money guidance and how to get rich Author: money guidance and how to get rich Stress is a great motivator. We can be motivated toward something (positive stress) or motivated away from something (negative stress). Positive stress keeps us focused, motivated, energized, and challenged. It can have tremendous impact on the efficient use of our allotted time-equity. Positive stress can enhance our performance at work and at home. When faced with a stressor, we need to remember that we can control our response. We have the "response-ability" to transform the reaction into a response that is positive. We also have the responseability to lower our stress tolerance. In his book, Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ... and It's All Small Stuff, Dr. Richard Carlson says that, "Our stress level will be exactly that of our tolerance to stress." In other words, people who say, "I can handle lots of stress" will always be under a great deal of it. It's no surprise then that people continue to take on new things until they max out their stress level. Carlson suggests the solution is to reduce our tolerance to stress. He goes on to say, "When you're feeling out of control and resentful of all you have to do, a good strategy is to relax, take a few deep breaths, and take a break." He suggests reorganizing your day and not worrying that you won't get it all done. "When your mind is clear and peaceful and your stress level is reduced, you'll be more effective and you'll have more fun."I agree. I suggest you lower your stress tolerance by exercising one of the 3 Ds: do it, delegate it, or dump it. Learn how to say no. Stop taking on more than you are physically or mentally able to handle. If you find yourself overwhelmed (and who hasn't?), break down your projects into smaller, manageable parts, then assign yourself SMART goals with deadlines. Most tasks can be broken down into smaller parts, thus eliminating the need to commit to a huge uninterrupted chunk of time. As you may have heard: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." So make your time management motto this: Inch by inch, anything's a cinch. |
