Everyone has their own way of dealing with stress. Or not dealing with it. And here’s My DAM System.
The first thing I learned was how to differentiate between stressors and stress.
Stressors being all those things both around us and in our heads that have the ability to cause us stress. And Stress being what happens when we allow them to come in and take hold, take root, set up home.
If we can stop them from coming in, from taking hold, learn to deflect them, stressors are far less likely to mature into stress.
So here’s a simple exercise, a simple way of thinking, but it really did work for me. I came up with what I call my own DAM system and the video below explains more.
And you’ll also find the same video in my training course on Hacking Stress.
