Handling Stress and Heightened Emotions Ep. 75

In this episode, we explore the nature of stress and heightened emotions, inspired by a recent Esther Perel podcast. We delve into the differences between good stress (eustress) and bad stress (distress) and discuss practical strategies for managing these feelings.

Key Topics Discussed:

Reframing Stress: Inspired by Esther Perel, we discuss why society often views stress negatively and how we can shift this perspective.
Personal Journey: I share my own experiences balancing career ambitions with personal life and how stress plays a role in growth and development.
Good Stress vs. Bad Stress:
- Eustress (Good Stress): Motivating, exciting, improves performance, short-term, associated with positive events.
- Distress (Bad Stress): Overwhelming, negative impact, long-term, associated with negative events.
Recognising and Managing Distress:
- Noticing: Paying attention to physical signs of stress without judgment.
- Breathing Techniques: Using the 4-7-8 breathing method to calm the body.
- Reflection: Identifying triggers and understanding the source of stress.
- Acceptance: Acknowledging stress and engaging in an internal dialogue to alleviate it.
