Stress Management Principle Number 3 - What You Expect Tends To Be Realized by Abbas Abedi
This article series covers 4 basic skills for stress management. My contention is that learning and mastering these 4 principles will enable anyone to manage their stress whenever they need it, i.e. instantly. This article covers principle number three for stress management.
Many of us will make up in the morning not wanting to wake up. Breakfast may not be good or we find ourselves in the middle of morning traffic. This is enough to make us feel like it is going to be a bad day. So it is. Everything that can be seen in a negative light IS seen that way.
If you start the day genuinely saying, "I feel wonder, relaxed and refreshed," and maintain this attitude then the minor inconveniences of the day will bounce off your skin as if they are trivial, which, from a perspective, they are.
"As you sow, so shall you reap," says the famous bible verse. So to keep yourself in a state of mind where most stressful events will bounce off your skin all you have to do is maintain a positive attitude and positive expectations.
Of course don't overdo the positive expectations. Just say and feel like, 'no matter what happens it is a part of your day and you can deal with it easily'. This will keep you relaxed and poised.
There is an old story that might be appropriate here.
There was a farmer whose horse ran away. All his neighbors came by to say how sorry they were at his misfortune. All he said was, "We shall see".
Next, his horse returns fallen by a group of wild horses. His neighbors congratulate on his good fortune and the farmer once again says, "We shall see".
Then his son falls off the same horse and breaks his leg. The neighbors once again exclaim at his misfortune and once again he says, "We shall see".
In a few days the army comes by collecting young men for a war. The farmer's son was ignored as his leg was broken. His neighbors congratulate him and all he says is, "We shall see".
Notice that in this story every event of the day or week did not make the farmer giddy with happiness or depressed at having a bad day. He maintained an open positive attitude and didn't let the events of the day get to him. Of course this may seem a little extreme to some but you get the idea.
In conclusion, if you expect yourself to handle a given situation with ease then your stress will decrease. If you expect yourself to handle a situation with difficulty but still able to come out fine then your stress levels will also stay down. If you take every event of the day or week as something extremely important, bad or good, that too will increase your stress. What you expect will create your day around you.
