The moment you realize you’re stressed about something, think about something that’s more stressful.
As traumatizing as it was, any time I face a stressful situation, I force myself to remember what it was like in the delivery room and NICU for both of our girls. I can’t not think of everything else being lighter after thinking of that.
Almost every emotion we feel, comparing it to another hurts more than it helps us.
Except for stress. Aside from squeezing a stressball or going for a walk, the best action you can take to overcome it is to think of something even more stressful.
Cake walks are only cake walks after knowing what a death march is like.
Polarizing? That’s the point.
