Plain and simple. I've started a new warehouse job in a leadership position. Definitely different from retail. This gave me a huge opening that you have to be in a OPEN MINDSET. Of course preparing is key.
this advice sounds like a really good way to manage stress for 1 year to a couple decades and then crash and literally be no longer able to deal with it at all. basically stoicism with more agression. I did everything right and then my brain predictably just broke and now I am experiencing mental illness. Down time, self care. Proper rest and avoidance of taking on too much is the answer. sorry some can do this for a while but your genes and your body WILL catch up with you and cause you disease.
@@hdjfjd8 you are exactly right. Every individual is different and that is why self help and therapy advice fails such a huge margin of the population.
Truth is most of us dont have the nervous systems of navy seal soldiers. Even by looking at Jocko body you can see he is filled with testosterone. His jaw and neck structure alone suggests that. Therefore it is simply survival bias. Most people need rest and recharge and GRADUAL progression. Yes, you can train stress resistance but you have to do it with your own realistic abilities in mind.
@@IsraelCountryCube I'm sorry but our society doesn't need several thousand years outdated religion as it will not meet the needs of our population. If you had studied religions outside of your own, you would realize that each civilization needs a religion tailored to their own specific needs. Christianity thought it could just steamroll the rest of the known world and destroy any other option and all that has brought us is this unstable and collapsing society ran by the over opposing dissidents of the religion struggling because they have been so long removed from the tools to build a new viewpoint of what is probably the same spiritual world to meet their own needs and alleviate physical suffering.
This is sound advice, however, it is very hard to apply if you're bad at dealing with stress and anxiety. What you need to do is exactly this (and maybe some therapeutic interventions if you're mentally ill), but the reason you're struggling is exactly because you struggle with the steps. Don't worry about things you can't control? Easier said then done. Attack what you can control? Would be awesome _if only I could get myself to do that_ . However, just because something is difficult, it doesn't mean that you master it. The cool thing is that this is very simple advice. It's very clear what you need to practice every time you get stressed: 1. Decide wether you can control something that stresses you. 2. If no, tell your self that you can't and accept it. 3. If yes, go into attack mode. Do every thing you can to dominate it and also approach it that way. Also he's absolutely right that you should be nervous if you didn't prepare enough. However, that won't help with the situation you're underprepared for. So, go back to the steps above.
I realize my stress is over things I cannot control but those things control me directly or indirectly and that is unnerving. Attacking my stress is futile.
9 Ways To Deal with High-Pressure Situations- 1. Understand Your Cutoff 2. Identify Your Triggers 3. Focus On The Task, Not The Result 4. Don’t Try To Avoid Pressure 5. Establish A Prioritization Plan 6. Break Down Your Tasks 7. Don’t Procrastinate 8. Change Your Outlook About Pressure 9. Try Mindfulness Practice
Tackle it. Decide if it’s in your control or out of your control. Plan or prepare is key to both. But there are nuances, how to manage multiple stress points, and take care of an aging parent both can be stressful. Unicorn to think stresses occur in isolation , but life is much more complex. What’s helped me is to give myself a Birds Eye view of all these stress points, and decide which course of action to prioritise.
Excellent point in multiple points of stress. For anxiety and feelings of overwhelmingness happen because of more stressing factors happening at once. You need that graph, mind map or Birds Eye view. Gonna research apps to help me do that specifically for handling multiple stresses. If you know of any…I suggest the magical Endel for focus and relaxation sounds, it’s not just any sounds, it’s science backed and helps so much with focus.
Yeah and don’t think stoicism is bad lol. It saved many a life. ‘Aggression’ I’m not sure but he’s a military leader so duh of course he has to have it. Anyway yes making changes on the things you can control instead of being paralyzed by fear. I go by this mantra: ‘I don’t like something? I take action to change it or improve it instead of complaining and whining”. Even things you can’t change, there are steps you can take to make it more tolerable. I used to complain way too much…
Agree with everything except the last part about being prepared will make you not stressed. I find that even when I prepare well I will still stress about things.
i have a court case today against me with some bogus charges of aggravated assault the prosecution tried to hide the security camera footage for over a year from the date of the incident i finally got it and i was able to find several points in those videos where it shows i am telling the truth about what happened i believe i did the work , everyone i tell what happened to seems to believe me (i am telling the truth but they dont know just like the jury wont know if its really the truth or not) so looking at that i can use that as a baseline as to if the jury is going to believe me as well .. i am pretty sure that with the evidence i have and the truth of what happened in my version of events that will show the jury that i am telling the truth i am still nervous and anxious over it i will do my best ... Never give up NEVER SURRENDER !
When I was in the military years ago I got into an intense exchange with a fellow soldier who was my rank over an issue of no real significance, except for him. Given his lack of emotional control I finally looked at him and said, This issue is so petty I’m going to spend about 1/10th of a quarter second thinking about it; I then did a quick 180 and walked away. …Remember: whatever you practice, you’ll get better at it. If you practice emphasizing pettiness, you’ll get better at it. 🇺🇸

The way you approach stress is conditionning the impact stress has on you, if you see it as a tool to defend or chase what you care about stress is positive and you’ll surf on it. On the other hand if you think it’s going to make you less, to debilitate you, it will.

I don’t want to be misunderstood here because I have the utmost respect for elite military units. However, I don’t understand why these people are placed so high on the spectrum. Why can’t someone who was a regular grunt have similar knowledge and life experience? Every time I watch the news, it’s all about a representative of the Navy SEAL’s or a SOG unit.
