A few years ago, I was in a stressful (very stressful) situation at work, so much so that I couldn’t get sleep and it starting affecting my health.
Finally, in a discussion with my manager (I wish more people had the fortune to have managers like him) – he asked me a simple question. ‘Kush, how is it helping to stress about this situation?’
The question stayed on and I had a learning opportunity. Stressful situations aren’t really bad – they push you.
You can choose to stress about them or do something about them.
I worked on this – more and more, choosing to action, instead of stressing about stuff.
I am not perfect, but this is WIP and it’s helping.
