Are You Stressed? Forget About It!

Who feels overworked, please put up your hand? Who feels like there just aren't enough hours in the day?

I'm sure the majority of you would put up your hand for at least one of these questions, if not both. We all live busy and hectic lifestyles nowadays. As the responsibilities pile up and our schedules take us from place to place we have a tendency of getting caught up in it all. Stress begins to build and our body's start to reflect our anxieties. Some people experience lack of appetite, others feel chest pains, stomach cramps and other physical ailments.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Life is far too short to let it fly by without appreciating everyday that we're alive! This reality truly hit home a few years ago when a friend of mine died at a very young age in a car accident. At that point I realized that I wasn't invincible like I thought I was. Understand that life can be taken from you at any moment and to live your last hours stressing is not the way that you'd want to go!

When dealing with stressful situations try to focus only on the things that you have control over. There is no point in stressing over whether or not you'll get the interview or if you did well on your exam. It will get you nowhere and will only give you a killer headache! Instead, use that mental energy on building your confidence and focus on solutions. Think of creative ways to make yourself stand out at an interview and find as many sources of information and/or guidance as possible that will help you achieve the results that you are looking for.

Remember if it's out of your control then just forget about it and move on! Life's challenges will only make you stronger so embrace change and watch yourself begin to grow!

The Man Who Thinks He Can

Life is simply a projection of your beliefs. If you believe you are unworthy than that is what you will be but if you choose to stand up for what you believe in then you are capable of achieiving remarkable things. Nobody should have the right to take that away from you...NOBODY!!

All it takes is believing in yourself.

The Man Who Thinks He Can

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don’t!
If you’d like to win, but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch that you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind!

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
Before you can win the prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the strongest or fastest man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can!

- Walter D. Wintle
