So how does one go about living with stress?

What I’m about to suggest may surprise you, but stress can be used to your advantage. In fact, stress is our body’s way of protecting us from harm and keeping us on our toes.

When we feel stress, our body is responding to a challenge or a threat — whether real or imagined. The right amount of stress can provide us with the drive to succeed. Stress can keep us energetic and focused.

If you acknowledge stress as a powerful tool, it can enable you to achieve a lot in life. Pressure compels you to take control of your life. It encourages you to focus on your wellness. You can think of it as a fuel that provokes you to take action.

Whenever the pressure of life gets to you, just take a moment and breathe deeply, give yourself some time to adjust to the stressful situation. Focus on taking deep breaths so that you get the much-needed energy to tackle the problem.

Just by taking a small break, stepping away from the situation and bringing the awareness back to your body can help you can see things with more clarity and approach the situation with new perspective.

Acknowledge the stress and muster your energy to counter the situation. Soon enough, your focus will shift to better things. Once you lose the fear of stress, it becomes your close ally.

Focus on your strengths

Instead of trying to be good at everything and ending up average, focus on few skills and master them. We are living in a world where specialist are being awarded big because they deliver greater value by being in the top % in their fields.

The best way to get to know your strengths is to ask closest people around you about what they think your strengths are. By doing that you are able to build up a profile and list up all the things that people say about you.

After that try to find merge overlapping answers and shortlist people’s perception of your strengths. Write down focus points for each strength that you have chosen and work on finding the environments, people and activities which would help you develop your strengths further and become expert.

There are many ways you can do it - finding experienced mentors, reading books, listening to podcast, going to seminars/events, taking courses etc.

Find your strengths, master them and become credible expert in your field!

PS! The best way is learn through experience and therefore try as many new things as possible to find out what you are really good at.

Make a commitment

Coming to this world, we are blank page and we start to add colors and paint our own life picture. Every experience and interaction teaches us something about life and shapes us in own way.

The main thing is that most of us had alot of imagination and belief in ourself growing up. Much more belief than as adults we have been limited in our thinking by all those norms and by some people people who say to us what we can and can’t do.

Set yourself goals which are aligned with your mission ( something bigger than yourself ) and commit to it. Something that will help change the world for better. Something that inspires you to wake up in the morning and which gives you the excitement in the evening to go to sleep that the next morning would come faster to start your day again.

If it does not work the way that you hoped it would, then do not change the end goal because of that. Change the approch and make it work.

By saying yes to some things, you are automatically saying no to other things

Some of us are saying yes to most of the time because that’s who we are. We do not want to miss out and we do not want to disappoint anyone.

Some of us are saying no to most of the things because that’s who we are. We prioritise our life because we know that when we say yes all the time then we have too many things on our plate and we would lose focus.

80% of your outcomes come from 20% of your input. Make it count.

Take advice from people who already have achieved what you want to achieve

1. Decide what you want to achieve
2. Find someone who has already done it
3. Learn and model them
4. Take action

People who do not have experience are trying to help you by assuming what you should be doing and they give you advice which is based on what they have heard from somewhere themself but they have never used that advice in real life.

Find the experts, model them and you will be able to take proper action towards your desired results.

Be smart by setting your goals

Many people set goals which are too broad and sometimes not even realistic. By doing that people never achieve their goals because they did not have proper goals in the first place.

The great method to use is to set SMART goals. It stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Based goals.

For example:

Specific - Lose 5kg of bodyweight
Measurable - Weigh ins every Sunday
Achievable - lose max 0.9kg per week
Relevant - Healthy goal to have more energy
Time based - Reach goal in 6 weeks, by 01.04.2019

Using this method gives you the benefit of making realistic plans through setting SMART goals. You get to know exactly what you need to do and what not do to achieve your goals.

Rather than how, think about who

Lets say that you want to learn a new skill and you decide that you want to become great at playing piano.

Instead of starting to learn on your own, the first step should be to find someone who already has experience and has achieved your desired results in playing piano.

Finding yourself a experienced mentor can answer your questions, show you the way, teach you everything about their own personal successes and failures on the upcoming journey. They know what to do and what not to do.

A great mentor will be able to help you in recommending you the right equipment, tools, daily habits, sources for independent study and exercises for practise to get an edge and improve your skills faster.

And lastly, they know the steps that you need to go through and therefore they are able to help you by setting realistic goals to move closer to your desired results.

Find the who and the how will come with it.

Take responsibility

Do not be afraid to take responsibility for your actions both in successes and mistakes.

Most of us want to be perceived as someone who is smart, successful and worthy. You have much greater chance of becoming one by taking responsibility for your actions - especially when things are not going well and you are making mistakes.

It does not make you weaker but actually much more valuable because exactly then you will allow yourself to learn from it and do better next time. Blaming other people for your own mistakes does not solve any problems but makes more of them.

Take responsibility and step up the game!
