Stressors are a inevitable part of life.
Particularly if you have people & projects that are meaningful to you.
How you respond to stressors determines whether they become stressful or just another challenge to work with.
This can be the difference between feeling stressed and feeling fulfilled, the difference between burning out and burning bright.
Choosing how to prioritize and respond to stressors can help you avoid experiencing “stress”and embrace life’s challenges with a sense of purpose & strength.
Noticing when you are experiencing “stress” gives you the opportunity to regulate so that you can step out of reactivity and into a calmer, wiser state.
