“Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it.”
– American Author Charles Swindoll
The good news… stress isn’t all bad. It can stimulate us and help us hop out of bed with an agenda. It activates the brain’s thinking centers and, in fact, having no stress can make us feel lazy or unmotivated.
The bad news… when we react to stress and perceive a situation to be a threat or have a feeling we cannot control the circumstances, it can cause destructive reactions such as anger, irritability, and helplessness. Chronic stress can cause physical symptoms including headaches, upset stomach, elevated blood pressure, chest pain, and problems sleeping. Stress can dramatically impact our engagement and ability to make decisions and lead with confidence.
