- Stress-driven motivation increases productivity and greater satisfaction.
- Severe stress -- in the aftermath of a trauma -- has even been credited with birthing many of our aha! Moments.

It’s All A Matter Of Perception

Under the guidance of Dr. Richard J. Davidson, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison performed an eight-year study on perception of stress and its impact on mortality. More than 25,000 participants were asked to rate their stress level over the past year and rank how much they believed this stress influenced their health. Over the next eight years, public death records were used to record the death of any subjects.
- For test subjects self-reported high levels of stress AND 2) believed stress had a large impact on their health- had a 43% increased risk of death. The test subjects that self-reported a lot of stress in their life BUT did not interpret its effects as negative had the fewest amount of deaths over the eight years.

The main reason most people suffer with stress is because they don’t have the tools. It is the reason I twisted for more than 20 years in the corporate world struggling with restless sleep, living without balance, feeling overwhelmed, and searching for deeper fulfillment that rarely seemed to come… and when it did, it was fleeting. I didn’t know what the tools were – nor did I have the manual on how to use them.
