use stress to impress

Eustress

Do you believe in it?

Or are you thinking I just made a major spelling snafu?

The truth is that eustress (aka: positive stress) is totally a thing and a good thing and something you can use.

Let's walk through an example that you might find useful and helpful.

The next time you are put on the spot to pitch and you feel your elevator isn't ready and you feel butterflies in your stomach, channel that energy. Take that stress feeling and direct it at your communication. Use the energy to bring the most excitement and passion to your voice.

Who's to say that stress has to be bad? Stress is just a bunch of energy that if channeled correctly can have amazing impact.

Another example, you have a big deadline and you are fearing you won't hit the mark. Channel that stress energy towards your work. Put it towards the actions you need to complete and wait till you see the productivity spike from that energy infusion.

So, today I I'm challenging you! The next time you perceive yourself experience stress, channel the energy to your advantage.
