STRESS

​The stressors of life……the stressors in life

• We stress about what will be,
• what has happened,
• what is happening now …

Stress can be quiet – internalising thoughts that outsiders cannot hear
Rational thoughts, irrational thoughts – which one?

• That thought 1 minute ago – clearheaded?
• The comment 2 hours ago – rational/irrational ?

Where has that thought come from?

• Is a quiet person really just quiet?
• Does a loud person really share it all?

What if … it had been daylight?
What if … everyone was in this one place together?
What if … a different choice was made?
What if … there were no ‘what if’s’ ?
Cause of stress

• not being able to do anything…
• wanting to do something…
• change something…
• If we accepted the circumstances, would we still experience stress?

“Not all stress is bad” – rational or irrational?
“Stress can be good” – true or false?
Managing stress – or masking stress?

• Who can?
• Who cannot?
• Who thrives on it?
• Who learns from it?
• What does it look like for you?

Nobody’s STRESS = the other’s STRESS
