HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO STRESS?

How you deal with stress matters. Unless you were born with a special gift for managing stress intelligently and effectively, this is one of the skills worth your

time to develop. YOUR RESPONSE TO STRESS CAN PREDICT THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS IN YOUR LIFE. How you deal with stress also affects your health.

One thing is for sure, if you avoid all stressful situations, your life will be stagnant. Growth requires dealing with stress.

SEE HOW YOUR ABILITY TO DEAL WITH STRESS MATTERS MORE THAN YOU THINK:

Are you an escape artist, distractor, or a solver? Most people respond to stress in one of three ways.

THE ESCAPE ARTIST DOES ANYTHING HE CAN TO REMOVE HIMSELF FROM THE SITUATION. Any solution that removes the stress in the short-term is a good option in his mind. The long-term consequences are of little concern. Hate your job? Quit, even if you don't have another. Relationship stress? Leave them. You got the picture.

THE DISTRACTOR ATTEMPTS TO DISTRACT HIMSELF FROM THE ISSUE THAT'S CAUSING THE STRESS. This distraction often takes the form of watching TV, shopping, doing chores, surfing the internet, or eating unhealthy foods.

THE SOLVER FOCUSES ON FINDING SOLUTIONS TO THE CAUSE OF THE STRESS. If there isn't a solution to the stress, the solver does his best to relax and avoid worrying about anything beyond his control.

Negative effects of poor responses. Poor responses to stress can negatively impact your physical and emotional health, as they tend to internalize the stress or cause worse results than the original issue.

It's clear that stress is a part of life that must be managed effectively to maximize success, health, and happiness.
