Turn Stress Into Success With These 10 Tips

From my guest article 10 Tips to Turn Stress to Success at Effortless Abundance:
“If you know someone who doesn’t experience stress, they’re probably not human. We stress over our finances, relationships, health, and careers or businesses. We get stressed when things don’t go our way and we are not getting the results we want. We experience stress when we feel rushed and we run out of time to do all that we want to do. What causes you to feel stressed?
Of course, there’s good stress and bad stress. Good stress is when you’re stretching beyond your comfort zone and taking risks. You feel discomfort, while also feeling good about doing new things and taking new paths. Bad stress causes anguish, negative emotions, and oftentimes physical problems like pain, headaches, ulcers, and worse.
What I’ve noticed, however, is that some people can have the same experiences and not feel as stressed as others. So I wonder: Is stress an automatic reaction or can it be a conscious choice? Think about that as you consider some of these 10 tips to turn stress to success:”

I think you are right on the money with this one David. Much stress is caused by fear. Fear of what has happened which we don’t want and seek to get rid of and/or what may happen which we don’t want and seek to avoid. Many people live out their whole lives osciallating between the two.
However things are seldom as they seem. I have come to the conclusion that it is more helpful (when fear arises) to question it’s truth against the facts of any given situation. So rather than worrying or obsessing about a thought about what is or may happen if ……etc.
I figure it better to face the situation head on by clarifying it and taking action based on the facts. Stressful thoughts then arise less and less. Also if we can learn to trust in what happens or doesn’t as being right for us then we would not judge events and situations as good or bad in the first place.
