Stress. What is stress and how to overcome it

I got a call from a dearest friend almost crying because she felt overtake by her working and family responsibilities. She could not speak properly for a while until I helped her to calm down.

The word she was repeating once and again was stress.

Give me one minute to clarify where stress comes from and how you can overcome stress.

(Is you are an expert here we will call stress to distress. The bad brother of natural and useful stress)

Stress has different components, but we will focus on the keys.

You are stressed when you feel you cannot afford or manage a situation.

Stress is a feeling.

This can happen because;

1. Actually you have not capacity at that moment to manage the demands from that situation.
2. You have the capacity, but you do not recognize it. So you are evaluating that the situation overtakes you.
   
   2.A.This could be because you are evaluating the situation wrongly and exceeding your capacities
   2.B. Or you could be underestimating your capacities.
   

In my experience, people tend to underestimate their capabilities.

You use to move in a comfort zone inside your limits. So you have a tendency to think your limits are closer than where they really are.

You have listened about people doing extraordinary things when the situation demands it. A traditional example is a mum raising a car to save his son.

I will tell you something. Things like that can happen to you. You are able to do extraordinary things if you think you need it.

I will repeat it. You are able to do extraordinary things if you think you need it.

It is a belief. It is an unconscious evaluation.(unconscious as automatic)

The same situation causes stress to one person and do nothing to other.

Stress is a human concept.

You learn what is stress, when to have stress and how to manage the stress.

It uses to be an unconscious learning process.

First step to overcome stress, to know exactly what is stress and your personal meaning of stress.

Doing this you already will have 50% of the success.

Second, to re-learn how to evaluate stressful situations and how to manage stress to use it on your side.

Make this process simple, fun & efficient getting expert advice.
