Embracing Stress as a Catalyst for Growth

 

In this episode of the soft skills series, I dive into stress management amid personal chaos. Sporting my daughter's fluffy dinosaur costume to stay warm, I reflect on the last three incredibly stressful weeks. The completion of our commercial kitchen project culminated in financial pressures and unanticipated challenges, testing our resilience. I share insights on recognizing personal stress patterns, reframing stress, and the importance of pushing oneself out of comfort zones. While acknowledging the fine line between healthy stress and burnout, I emphasize that short-term stress can be a powerful growth tool. Remember, knowing your patterns and setting limits is crucial to turning stress into a positive force. Let's embrace stress and discover what we're truly made of.
