Did you know that stress can be a factor in up to 75% of mental health issues, and is a contributing symptom to the six most common causes of death? 

Many of us, particularly career-driven individuals, wear stress like a badge of honour. A stressful day at work is seen as a productive day, or maybe you feel like you’re motivated by stress. 

Well this podcast episode is about to blow your mind on everything you think you know about stress! 

As we continue our mini-series on identifying, creating and implementing healthy coping mechanisms, this episode takes a look at some of the common myths around stress, inspired by Andrew Bernstein’s 8 Deadly Myths About Stress. 

We should be fighting stress, not celebrating it, and hopefully this podcast will help you reframe your understanding of it, and give you some of the tools to start managing stress better in your life. 

Here are the highlights: 

(01:13) Stress is NOT a mental health issue 

(04:18) MYTH – stress comes from circumstance 

(06:08) MYTH – stress is a motivator 

(08:47) MYTH – some stress is good for you 

(10:13) MYTH – without stress you would be bored 

(12:11) MYTH – the best way to deal with stress is to exercise 

(15:57) MYTH – stress is a choice 

(18:02) MYTH – stress is inevitable 

(20:39) MYTH – everyone is stressed

How are your New Year’s resolutions going? 

I predict that many of you have set big, huge goals which are now beginning to fail, and that’s because you’ve made them too big and too huge rather than focusing on the smaller, achievable targets. 

Maybe your frustration at not hitting your goals is causing some additional stress. Maybe you have a busy life, a challenging or unfulfilling job, or any number of things feeding your anxiety on a daily basis. 

Well it’s time to stop, take a step back, and breathe... 

As we continue our mini-series on identifying, creating and implementing healthy coping mechanisms, this special episode I am going to take you through a meditative process, which you can use at home whenever you want. Simply find a comfortable, quiet place and listen back to this episode. 

This exercise is a free practical exercise you can use when life is getting a bit overwhelming. 

Here are the highlights: 

(00:39) Managing what life throws at you 

(02:31) Kim says relax 

(04:03) A self-meditative exercise 

(21:59) Learning to re-focus your coping mechanisms

This episode is first part of a mini-series where we look at exactly that and speak to some expert guests so that you can start identifying and managing your life with healthy coping mechanisms.
