Thought I'd share "Stress" with you
Forbes.com recently interviewed nine CEOs to learn how they are managing stress. Given their high income brackets, one might think their strategies would be out of reach for most people (like day-long spa getaways). You might be surprised, then, to learn that nothing they do for stress relief is that expensive. Here was the list they came up with:
Maintaining a clear focus and a clear head.
Riding bikes, running, or exercising 4-5 days a week.
Listening to music.
Laughing.
Meditating.
Spending quality time with family.
Working and playing outside.
Unplugging from email.
Trying something new.
Sharing deeply with a friend, especially the good stuff.
Setting aside catastrophic thinking.
Doodling first thing in the morning.
Getting together with friends to relax and have fun.
Now that's a good list for just about anyone, and many of them don't take any money at all. Stress relief is like that. It has more to do with the decisions than the money you make. You may want to use the list above review your own decisions and to adjust your life accordingly.
Coaching Inquiries: What relieves your stress? How could you do those things more often? Who could you do them with? What patterns of behavior would assist you to be your best self?
