Why I’m so pleased I’m an amateur!
My thing is ‘state of mind’, and how it’s impacting you today.
Whether that’s in your performance as a leader, your ability to generate sales with your team or how you get ‘BIG’ problems solved in your organisation.
Or, actually….
Just how you be true to yourself, live a happy, full and loving life.
I’m all over it.
WHY?
I’ll tell you why…
BECAUSE…
Despite there being literally tens of thousands of books, videos, audios and ‘practices’… we’re still bitching daily about stress, overwhelm, depression etc
LET ME BE CLEAR HERE!
If I’ve just described YOUR reality then my heart goes out to you…
It can be fucking miserable…
In fact being miserable is what got me in to this in the first place and why it is
C R I T I C A L
that you give me a little of your attention and share this too.
To the point…
On various media sources this week I’ve heard so many professionals talk about the causes of stress and anxiety.
I could list them, but you know them and you’ll have heard these same stories too.
Today it’s that tests cause stress.
Now if you’ve recently done tests, or exams, and been stressed then you’ll know that those things look linked.
Tests causes stress.
BUT, and it’s a very BIG BUT (and here’s why being an amateur is very cool)
What if there’s a missing piece of the jigsaw in the relationship ‘tests cause stress’ that the professionals aren’t on to yet?
(HINT: there is)
You see if tests always cause stress, then we’re totally doomed to a life of ‘coping’, ‘managing’ (see most books ever written on this topic) which sounds fairly grim.
However, if there’s something else at work here, such that when we understand it, we can see why it looks this way, but there’s other possibilities for how we might feel about stress…
In that case, we have hope.
And where ever there is hope, suffering begins to subside.
If you’d like to know more, then first of all reflect on what I’ve shared today..
Just let it drift around the mind and see what occurs to you.
I PROMISE you, that this is worth it.
