Spring Semester Revision Notes, 10: Managing Stress, Dozen

1. You have to break the cycle somewhere, of being too stressed to handle the stress.
2. The easiest one is the walk. Just walk. No aim, no analysis. Just seek the grounding rhythm of the walk.
3. Make it a regular, recurring feature of your day. It will soothe. It will put things in proportion.
4. Now identify every damn stressor. Every one. From the commute, to your boss, to the leaking roof, to...
5. Much stress is being out of control.
6. Split the list into two: what you can control (your boss) and what you can't (still not winning the lotto).
7. Accept those you can't control: waste no more emotional energy on them.
8. Prioritise those you can control. Number 1 being the one which would reduce most stress if solved.
9. Take one per week and solve it by asking for help, learning a skill, being persistent.....
10. Keep walking, keep staying grounded.
11. But solve it, one by one.
12. Now. Feeling better? Keep walking, keep breathing properly, keep looking up. 

If you missed a class (er, it was noted):

1: Productivity Dozen

2: Presentation Dozen

3: Selling Dozen

4: Work/Life Balance Dozen

5: Your Magnum Opus, The Book Dozen

6: Personal Wealth

7: Building a Career You Love Dozen

8: Always Learning & Learning Fast Dozen

9: Great Coffee, Half-Dozen

Assessment is clearly continuous.
