We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
I want to say this up front and be emphatically clear. Stressis a self-induced state of mind and not brought on by externalforces.Most of us believe that stress is created by negative outsidestimuli, when in fact just the opposite is true. Stress isbrought on by how we think about the forces we perceive to beacting upon our lives.For example, if you are thinking "I'll never get this report finishedin time for the deadline," "This job demands an ungodly amountof my time...", it becomes easy to believe that if we can justcomplete our "to-do" list then the stress will be eliminated. Nottrue. Stress will always return as soon as the "to-do" list gets fullbecause of the way we think about what we have "to-do."Stress is always generated by our thinking and not by externalcircumstances. It is actually a state of mind that we control. Inorder to de-stress one must learn to think differently. You see,as stressful thoughts escalate then the entire stressful cycleescalates also.As stressful thoughts are allowed to linger in our minds ourmoods are affected. It stands to reason, then, if we learn tochange our thinking we can change our moods.How do we do this? First we need to understand the cycle ofstress. If we think angry thoughts we are going to feel anger. Ifwe think sad thoughts we feel sad. Emotional states of mind willalways follow our thought patterns.Learn to pay careful attention to how you are feeling thoughoutthe day by pausing at differing intervals to see what you arethinking.Then learn to shift your thinking by countering stressful thinkingwith positive thinking. Focus on one problem at a time util it isresolved. If you shift your thinking your mood will follow.Unfortunately, most of us believe that if we work harder or fasterwe will get more done. What we need to do is learn to worksmarter.Finally, take a "mini vacation" twice a day. Take 5 minutes atmid-morning and mid-afternoon and intensely focus on one ofyour most pleasant memories. See this memory in vivid detail.Imagine yourself being there and truly re-live the pleasure. You'llbe surprised at how refreshing the experience will be.Stress is a state of mind that is self-induced...a learned behaviorbrought on by negative thinking. Therefore it can be unlearnedby practicing positive thinking and staying focused.
