what is up guys BTW back here again with another motivational Monday video yeah that's what I'm going to call it nowadays motivational mondays we talk about self-improvement life skills all that good stuff today's topic is how to turn stress into something that you can use stress and anxiety into something you can use to help you accomplish your goals now when we think of stress our relationship of stress is very bad we think okay we hear in the news that stress is bad stress causes this stress causes that when in reality is that really true or is it the fact that we have all these preconceived notions that stresses a bad thing and we think okay I'm feeling stressed I'm not capable of getting the job that I want to having the friends that I want to be how the body I want and because I feel the stress anxiety about the situation I don't go after it and this is completely false and I want to give you guys a different mindset a mindset change and I got this from the book the upside of stress Mike Kelly McGonigal now what she says to do is is to think of how you're you this stress Corliss to your values if you're upset if you're feeling anxious if you're feeling stressed out about something that means that whatever you're stressed or anxious about is something that's important to you so start there what are your your values what do you deem important to you in your life but that stress and anxiety gives you energy to rise to the challenge instead of thinking all this is bad i can't handle it what do i do this is you know I'm not capable I'm not capable start thinking this stress and anxiety this feeling in my body that I don't like is actually trying to help me become more alert to your surroundings more focused and you start seeing things that you wouldn't normally have seen before so your body is sending all these signals to help you but we think oh no we need to get rid of it why get rid of it if think about it if you're in a situation where you're going into an interview you feel anxious right what do you do you feel very alert you feel very present you feel very in tune with your surroundings as opposed to when you go in there comfortable you may miss questions you may forget things you may come off as you don't care you may miss certain subtleties in the interviewers um the way they say things or asking you questions and you could take all these things out of context so it really helps to again help you through those situations but we don't think of it like that so I want to challenge you guys to make a mind shift from thinking that stress and anxiety is a bad thing and more of moreover too it's going to help you achieve what's important to you and it's giving you the necessary focus skills intuitiveness to overcome your challenges that are meaningful to you so go out next time you feel that stress think about how is this stress trying to help me accomplish my goals and what matters most to me mind-blowing right it's really helped me a lot and I see certain areas were before I would have been like oh I can't do it I can't do my dog I felt very getting a new dog I felt very anxious about it like I can't do this it's a big commitment and I was very anxious they want me to pick up the dog right now I don't you have this isn't this but then I got inches i said how can this anxiety raised me to the level where i can take care of my dog i can think about all the dogs needs getting all the proper stuff so I don't miss anything and just be completely ready for the dog and that's what happened and it really made me realize that that stress really it really helped me and now every from day to day I think of okay this is a challenge house is going to help me how's the stress anxiety going to help me get to what I want so you guys go out and do the same thing thank you guys for watching it's been BTW again these are going to be every monday i'm going to come up with something even if i have to say three lines or one word I will have a video Monday for you guys to start off your week alright guys thank you for watching more to come I will see you guys later peace
