Stress -- Motivational Minute (13_060)

Quote of the day:

“Nothing is so strong as gentleness and nothing is so gentle as real strength.” — Ralph W. Sockman

Consider:

Some people can operate well under pressure—for a while. Others are just the opposite, pressure fritzes them out immediately. While some people thrive on the adrenaline rush of a pressure-cooker environment, most don’t.

If you’re a high-powered person, you need to realize that others are greatly affected by your pace and push. Stress can be debilitating—even secondhand stress. Better results are usually reached when the environment is calm and steady.

Have you ever watched a flock of birds, or sheep, or a herd of horses, or cows and noticed that when one gets jumpy or upset, that spirit quickly spreads to the others and the flock or herd scatters? Something similar takes place in a group of humans. People affect each other.

If you find yourself in a stressful situation ask yourself how you’re affecting those around you. Are you the one contributing to and causing the stress, or do you have a calming effect on others?
