Stress is Good

Stress management is not about reducing all kinds of stress.

There is a healthy amount of stress that gives you a sense of urgency towards specific outcomes. It pushes you from that inert state to do something.

People who deeply care don’t solely rely on extrinsic motivators.

So many people avoid stress to an extreme where any level of urgency is regarded as “pushy” or “not sustainable”. Staying in bed all day is not sustainable, so is excessive daily workouts. You will only be a healthy individual through balance.

Your first workout after getting out of bed won’t feel good, and that’s not feedback to stop working out, but an invitation to explore a new balance.
