Coping With Stress

2020 has been a stressful year for many people. You might actually have felt it, but isn’t it also true that in industrialized nations we have been talking about stress almost as if it’s a badge of honor to have it.

In reality, when we’re under stress we can produce very little movement forward. We make poor decisions which lead to poor results

How do we get through this?

First is to recognize that there are 4 automatic stress Coping Mechanisms that we can fall into. They are:

1) The Blamer
2) The Placater
3) The Distractor
4) The Computer

Listen now to lean to cope with stress in a new way that produces positive results in your life.
