Self-Imposed Stress
- Trying to control life and people.
- Overestimating your capacity to get things done.
- Undervaluing the talent of others.
- Overspending. Overeating. Overdrinking.
- Pursuing trivialities. Status. Possessions that create debt. Pleasures you can’t afford.
- Procrastination.
- Judging your life through the lens of social media.
- Saying yes too much.
- Expecting perfection instead of pursuing excellence.
- Worshipping busyness. Stop believing busy means you’re important. Important people aren’t frantic.
- Avoiding painful conversations.
- Carrying past failures.
