Most advice we’re given for stress management is to get more sleep, take supplements or meditate. While these methods are beneficial, they only address stress after it's already taken its toll. 

What if there were two unconventional antidotes that could combat stress before it becomes overwhelming?

Understanding the Nature of Thought

Most of us associate stress with external challenges or overwhelming workloads. But at its core, stress stems from our thoughts and perceptions. Stress doesn’t come from life's challenges but from our anticipation of what might be ahead. This anticipatory stress triggers tension and anxiety in the body, regardless of whether those outcomes actually materialise. 

One new thought can interrupt the entire stress cycle, allowing your mind to access the intelligence that's always available when you're not trapped in old patterns. That single shift in perspective can be the difference between staying stuck in stress and stepping into clarity and resilience.

Cultivating Trust in Yourself

The second antidote to stress is trust—trust in yourself and your ability to navigate challenges. True resilience lies in the confidence that you have the resources to overcome any obstacle.

Think about a challenging event you faced in the past. Maybe it was a health scare, a professional setback or a relationship breakdown. Each time you emerged stronger, you reinforced your capacity to handle future challenges. Business is inherently unpredictable, but having faith in your capacity to adapt and solve problems is an antidote to stress.

Have you recognised how your thoughts drive your experiences? 

Do you trust your ability to navigate life's ups and downs? I’d love to hear from you.
