Stress as a Positive Change Agent

I see stress as a Positive Change Agent that uses these 5 powerful Positive Principles to transform anxiety into a constructive force that works with you instead of against you.

Principle nr 1: Use your strength constructively instead of destructively.

People that burnout have been strong for too long. Stress is a sign that your strengths have become your traps, which is a destructive energy force. Luckily your personality isn’t permanent; by tweaking your limiting beliefs into constructive thoughts you can start to practice self-compassion helping you to thrive instead of survive.

Principle nr 2: Use stress to merge intellect with intuition.

Suffering from long term stress and exhaustion can cause cognitive decline. We are forced to temporarily navigate on our feelings instead of our intellect allowing our emotional intelligence to grow and strengthen. When the cognitive functions gradually return, feeling and thinking are gradually merged; helping us to become what we were designed to be; perfectly balanced beings with an equal amount of intuition and intellect helping you navigate through life with body, heart and mind in sync.

Principle nr 3: Use stress to merge Discipline and Surrender

Structure and discipline are necessary tools for an organized mind. But when we overdose on them,  we become increasingly sensitive to burnout. Using different tools and exercises we’ll start to use stress to guide us to surrender more, let go of what no longer serves us and find balance between discipline, surrender to ultimately find more flow in our daily lives.

Principle nr 4: Use stress to find your Authentic Self

Stress has a zero tolerance filter that helps you prioritize what you really need instead of doing what you feel obliged to do. Using this filter and the body’s subtle stress signals, we’ll start to listen to what your body has been trying to tell you; guiding you to your Authentic Self.

Principle nr 5: Use stress to understand the Evolution of your Brain

Over the past 20 years Technological Evolution has surpassed our Neurological Evolution. We are producing 300 x times more output and processing 500 x more input compared to 20 years ago. The fact that our neurological evolution cannot keep up with the speed of digital evolution requires top level mental health care, the right tools and instruments to set healthy (digital) boundaries to keep ourselves mentally fit and resilient.
