I talk to people from time to time who are looking for tips on how to raise their stress tolerance. They think that the key to their life dreams and their MLM personal growth is to be able to handle greater and greater levels of stress.
Actually, the exact opposite is true. But I’ll get to that in a moment.
As YOU know by now, we get what we expect in life. We get what we “put out there.” And if you put out there that what you want is MORE stress, guess what? Yes, absolutely. More pressure and confusion and responsibility and frustration are heading your way. Maybe you’ll really luck out and get a full-blown family-threatening or career-threatening or dream-threatening or life-threatening crisis!
Isn’t it obvious that this is a step in the wrong direction?
But it’s understandable. I read about “stress workshops” where the stated aim is to raise your stress tolerance. So even the “experts” are lost.
In my experience, for maximum happiness & success, you want to minimize the stress in your life. Notice as soon as you start to feel the slightest stress. Nip it in the bud BEFORE it gets to be the size of Jack’s beanstalk.
Are your thoughts moving too quickly? Back off. Get your bearings.
Is your schedule impossible for ANY human? Slow down. Re-evaluate what is REALLY important.
Feeling “out of control” or resentful? Definite signs of stress. So relax, go for a walk. Get back in control.
The key is to notice the problem and correct it before it becomes King Kong and takes over your life.
People get stressed because they can’t “do it all.” But the fact is, if your mind is clear & peaceful, and your stress level is minimal, you will be way more effective, both in your MLM business and in your personal life. Plus, you will have more fun. So if you want a happier life, LOWER your tolerance for stress. Strange, but true.
