Ep 46 - Managing Stress and Pressure

This week we delve into the complexities of managing pressure and stress in both personal and professional contexts. We explore the differences between stress and pressure, share personal experiences of feeling overwhelmed, and discuss the importance of mindset in navigating challenging situations. The conversation also touches on self-imposed pressure, the significance of finding peace amidst chaos, and insights into future trends in the workplace.

Takeaways

  • Stress is self-imposed, while pressure is external. 
  • Challenge pressure is beneficial pressure pushing you to something meaningful while hindrance pressure is useless pressure that creates stress for the sake of stress
  • Self-imposed pressure can be a significant source of stress for high achievers but accepting it and listening to where it is pointing you can lead to greater focus and clarity.
  • Don't let small things become big things. Recognize the finite amount of cares you have and only give some to things that matter to you.
