Work related stress is wearing you down and killing you slowly and it seems that no amount of deep breathing and positive visualisations seem to make it better?
The Urban Guru is here to help:
It’s the simple problem of your own mental perception and your bodies natural fight or flight response. You mistakenly see your boss or upcoming deadline, presentation or deal as the prehistoric monster with VERY BIG TEETH that’s going to eat you! And because you’re telling yourself it’s a real problem your body reacts with it’s fight or flight response.
It’s your own fear, which creates the stress; that pumps adrenalin around your body and causes increased blood pressure and shuts down your digestive system and stops you’re higher brain function from functioning.
So just STOP! Stop prostituting yourself to the corporate monster, let go of your imaginary fear and learn to say “No!” Because you’re worth more than whatever it is they’re paying you in ‘overtime’.
