=====
Stress

• Stress = (What we seek to control) MINUS (What we can actually control)
• Notice where we focus our attention: is it on things that we control or not?
• Drama comes from focusing on what others do that upset us, rather than looking inward

Conflict

• Stress and conflict can create a vicious cycle
• Interpersonal conflict and intrapersonal still both stem from self
• Other people are indeed problematic, but we don’t have as much control or influence

Influence

• We have most influence over ourselves
• You’re most likely to influence others with lion energy rather than squirrel energy

Change Your Behavior

• Awareness: identify what’s triggering you
• Acceptance: this is where you are because of your decisions, change could involve loss
• Assessment: what will change encompass, what’s necessary?
• Action: put pen to paper and make the change
• Adjustment: assess and change course as needed

Curiosity may be more powerful than certainty
