Do you ever get stressed watching a sporting event? Do you know why? It’s because you’re focussed on the outcome. And on top of that, you have no control in the outcome. If there was a recipe for stress than that would be it!
On the other hand, do you ever get stressed when you’re playing a sport? Not really, right? That’s because you’re focussed on the process, not the outcome. And on top of that, you feel like you’re in control of the situation, things aren’t influencing you, you’re influencing them.
The key to managing stress is to stay in control. You can do that by focussing on the processes you have influence over.
Think about that…..when your next stressin out.
