Bank of America and a member FDIC. Unless

4:01

you were born with a special gift

4:03

for managing stress, way

4:05

intelligently and highly effectively, this

4:07

is one of those skills

4:10

that's really worth developing, learning

4:13

how to deal with

4:15

stress. Your response,

4:17

how you come back

4:19

at what life is thrown at you,

4:22

your response to this stress can predict

4:25

the level of success you enjoy in

4:27

your life. How you deal with

4:29

your stress also affects

4:31

your health, and you know

4:33

that. If you've had anxiety,

4:35

you know the role that it

4:38

can play on your health and

4:40

well-being. And one thing

4:42

is for sure, if you avoid

4:44

all stressful situations, your

4:46

life will become stagnant. Growth

4:49

requires dealing with stress.

4:52

We grow, we become who we

4:54

are through being

4:56

stressed, forging us.

4:58

This is how we are

5:00

made as diamonds, through

5:02

the stress the

5:05

pressure put on us. It

5:07

does not have to hurt us if

5:09

we can learn how to deal with

5:11

stress in different ways. So

5:15

I wanted to look at it as I have

5:17

in the past, as like

5:20

an escape artist, a distracter or

5:22

a solver. And most

5:24

people respond to stress in one

5:26

of these three ways, or some

5:29

close variation of it. So let's

5:31

look at those more closely. The

5:34

escape artist does

5:37

anything they can to remove

5:39

themselves from the situation. Any

5:42

solution that removes the stress

5:45

in the short term is a

5:47

good option to the escape artist.

5:50

The long-term consequences are

5:52

of little concern.

5:54

Hate your job, you quit.

5:57

Even if you don't have another one. Really.

6:00

Relationship stress leave them so you

6:02

get the idea of where I'm going

6:04

with this. It's the immediate

6:08

change that they are going after get

6:10

me out of here right now the

6:13

escape artist and now

6:15

how about the distractor? The

6:18

distractor attempts to distract themselves

6:20

from the issues that are

6:23

causing the stress this

6:25

distraction often takes the form of

6:28

watching TV shopping doing

6:30

chores surfing

6:32

the internet eating

6:35

junk foods and You

6:37

can see from those ideas all

6:40

the various places

6:42

that the distractor will go

6:45

possibly to remove

6:48

themselves from having to deal

6:50

with the stress and now

6:53

the solver focuses on

6:55

finding solutions to the causes

6:57

of the stress if

7:00

there isn't a solution to the

7:02

stress the Solver does

7:04

his best to relax and

7:06

avoid worrying about anything beyond

7:09

his control So

7:12

which one do you feel like you fall into? Are

7:15

you finding solutions to the cause of

7:17

your stress? And if you can't find

7:20

a solution Are you doing your

7:22

best to let it go? Relax

7:26

avoid going into the worry monkey

7:28

mind about anything that is beyond

7:31

your control or Are

7:34

you distracting finding a million

7:36

in one ways to just

7:38

get the issue away from

7:40

you? So that your mind is

7:42

not thinking about it. Now a little caveat here

7:45

is that Distraction

7:47

can work for us too in

7:49

the short term We all

7:51

need to distract here and there you

7:53

got a pain and you're in a

7:55

meeting you distract from it I get

7:58

it. We all do it But

8:00

we don't want this to be our

8:03

way of going through our life dealing

8:06

with stress. And

8:08

then the escape artist, that

8:10

is the way to get away from

8:12

whatever it is. Just

8:15

get me out of here right now.

8:19

With no idea of

8:22

what is this coming up for?

8:25

Why is this coming up? Is there

8:27

something I need to know

8:30

from this thing coming up, this

8:32

stress? No, it's

8:34

just the immediate getting away from

8:36

it. And of course there's

8:39

combinations. And that's

8:41

probably where most of us fall. I get it.

8:44

But it's just a way of

8:46

painting a little bit of a picture for

8:48

you so that you can see

8:50

that there are many different ways that

8:53

we can respond to stress.

8:57

Negative effects of

9:00

poor responses really

9:03

impact our physical and

9:05

our emotional health. Because

9:08

what we are doing there when

9:10

we have poor responses to stress

9:12

is we are internalizing the

9:15

stress and causing results

9:17

that are even possibly worse

9:19

than the original issue. We're

9:22

putting it all inside ourselves. So

9:24

learning to respond to stress effectively

9:26

is good for you in so

9:28

many different ways. And

9:31

a huge part of being successful in

9:33

life depends on how you handle your

9:35

stress. Successful people

9:37

learn positive ways to manage

9:40

their stress because stress is

9:42

a part of life that

9:45

must be managed. And

9:48

we can do that and have

9:50

healthy and happy lives. Sometimes we

9:52

get turned upside down with stress.

9:55

Yep, we all go there. It's

9:57

okay. It's how we are

9:59

responding. in the long run

10:01

that makes the difference. Today's

10:32

episode is sponsored

12:48

the new Bumble now. So

12:50

let's look at a couple of different ways

12:53

that you could begin to deal

12:55

with stress to get the

12:57

most out of your days. First

13:00

off, you could focus on finding a

13:02

solution. There really isn't

13:04

any other option that makes sense.

13:07

If you're going to spend a

13:09

lot of time and energy, spend

13:11

that time and energy wisely, rather

13:14

than worrying, which doesn't get

13:16

us anywhere. It's like

13:18

sitting in a rocking chair. You're doing something,

13:20

but you don't get anywhere. So focusing

13:24

on finding a way out of

13:26

the situation that is causing your

13:28

stress is a good

13:30

way to spend some of

13:32

your energy. Focusing on finding

13:34

a way out of it.

13:37

But if there is nothing that you

13:39

can do, you

13:41

have to accept that and

13:45

let go of it, rather than

13:47

continuing with the ideas going round

13:50

and round like a hamster wheel,

13:53

beginning to go into the worry

13:55

phase. You can do

13:57

what you can and then let go.
