Education
Is it just me, or is everyone kinda going THROUGH it right now? Most people I talk to lately feel that to some degree they're in the midst of a difficult or stressful season of life, and everything suggests that for the MOST part, MINDSET is the single best indicator of how well we navigate those seasons and how we will come away from those seasons! On this week's episode, we're taking a less conventional approach to navigating difficult seasons. First and foremost - reorienting ourselves with "stress". Truthfully, stress is part of the human experience, and both personal experience as well as data and research demonstrate that trying to eliminate stress is NOT the answer. Rather, embracing the ADAPTIVE power of stress and how it can actually IMPROVE performance and lead to resiliency appears to be the single best way to HACK the stress response in your FAVOR. Additionally, we're discussing how to strike a balance between "grow through what you go through"/"life is happening FOR you, to TO you" mentality while also ACKNOWLEDGING the reality of difficult seasons of life. I'm proposing some unconventional wisdom this week and I hope you'll listen and come away from this week's episode asking yourself some different questions and showing yourself a whole lot of compassion!
