Stress Is Everywhere
Stress abounds in the modern time-poor drama-filled world. Those that aren't feeling stressed are either lying to themselves or have managed to find a happy work/study/life balance that few people have the ability to create for themselves if they want to get good grades or pay their bills on time. So if you are feeling stressed - I say join the club!
Irrespective of the stress that exists for you (small or large) the most important factor is how we (individually and collectively) react and respond to our daily stresses.
When we are feeling stressed, even the smallest things can totally set us off, often leading to a verbal barrage on friends or family (or even innocent bystanders) that leaves us looking like an emotional wreck and those around us feeling the aftermath of our outburst. This happens because the stress we are carrying around is clouding our judgement and impacting on the way we view the world - which in turn impacts the way we treat others.
The major challenge with stress is preventing the behaviors it creates from becoming habits. Habits occur when we consistently engage in certain actions or behaviors over a certain amount of time. Therefore, if the feeling of "being stressed" becomes a regular feeling it may actually become the norm feeling. When that happens the individual spends their entire life feeling miserable but they aren't even aware it's because they have formed a detrimental habit.
Therefore, this is a habit that needs to be reversed. Why? Well those with high stress levels creating high amounts of conflict in their life will find it very difficult to reach high achievement levels at either school or in life.
The Problem: Mini-Me Is Saying Negative Things Again!
Negative self-dialogue is a consistent reaction to stressful situations. Responses such as "I can't do this", "I am going to fail", or "I don't know what I'm doing" only add further stress to the stress that is being experienced! It is a downward spiral. Unfortunately, this type of dialogue is also our most powerful dialogue and controls our responses to stressful situations.
The result of negative self-dialogue can be easy to see. Extreme reactions to what others may view as a small issue is caused by a self-dialogue that believes others are wishing them harm or out to get them, or simply one that has created the habit of a negative reaction to virtually all situations (regardless of whether they are viewed as good or bad by others). I'm sure we have all come into contact with people that constantly worry about everything and view everything in a negative light. It's not much fun is it?
This can be potentially very serious - it may also lead to being quite lonely (or grouped with other negative self-talkers - yikes there's a bunch of them - run!) The negativity tends to hang over this person like a dark cloud. However, the good news is that it can be overcome by making positive self-talk a habit.
The Solution: Be A Positive Pete
Positive self-talk (just like negative self-talk) is an extremely powerful force if harnessed correctly. When thinking positively about life and being in a constant state of positivism about yourself and others around you, your life will become a far more enjoyable experience. Those who use positive self-talk actually create a better life for themselves because their outlook greatly impacts on the actions they take. Again, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy - but this one works for you, never against you. Amazingly, a habit of optimism and positivism can actually bring you a much brighter future.
Optimism and positivism result in better relationships, better health and better grades. By always looking on the bright side of life and constantly telling yourself "I can do this", or "I am doing well", or "I have everything under control" or "Everything always works out really well for me" you will be absolutely shocked at what happens. Try it for a day. Then try it for a week. Then try it for a month. Before you know it you will have created a brand new habit and will be positively beaming!
Only by understanding what is causing our stress can we take steps to address it. The reality is that many factors can create stress but understanding what is at the root is the most important step to resolving the internal conflict.
