In this episode we discuss the topic of stress and how to manage it effectively. We define stress - that it is not the stress itself that is a problem, but rather the reaction to stressors.
Stress can be used to one's advantage if managed properly, and a positive mindset and proactive approach are key to preventing stress from becoming detrimental.
The episode highlights the importance of having a philosophy of life that guides how one approaches and responds to challenges. We learn four tips to overcome distress: starting with a to-do list, talking oneself into taking action, using time management techniques like the Pomodoro and 52/17 methods, and acting on what one knows rather than how one feels.
