Many people constantly talk about stress all the time. You know I often feel those who talk about stress all the time and such, are trying to cope with a problem internal. I think that stress in life is a matter of your experiences and what might stress some out, certainly has little affect on others.
Back when I use to race motorcycles I saw that what was once stressful in a high-speed corner on a street bike, eventually turned into a reflex. It is like practicing cross-wind landings in a tail-dragger, after a while it is natural. It is like deleting the fear of heights walking across a plank after you do it a lot, no more fear. Gymnasts often talk about such fears.
It seems much of this is conditioning. So, if you are conditioned to work hard to be the best in everything you do then you have mastered that. Stress and hardship is a good thing and those who go around avoiding it at all costs will be sorry in the end. Avoidance is not always the answer, as that which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Adversity builds character and part of your personal character growth does involve stress you see? Is stress killing you or are you killing yourself by acknowledging it and dwelling on it so much. Stop using stress as an excuse, start winning and stop complaining, is the advice I most often give on this subject.
Lead by example and move beyond those psychological artificial barriers that are preventing you from being everything that you want to be in life. By over coming hardship and stress you will be helping those who watch you, do the same.
