What Happens When Work Brings Stress?

We’ve all felt it, and probably created at some point in our work careers; work-induced-stress. It has become a common challenge, affecting productivity, health, and our overall well-being. When stress infiltrates our work life, it often clouds our judgment, reduces efficiency, and creates a persistent feeling of overwhelm. Often, we find ourselves working out and exercising to expel the stress that has already been absorbed or even to build ourselves up to repel it. We often are bitter to our significant others, experience physical changes, are snappy with our kids, isolate from family, we communicate less, and eventually find ourselves “tired”, “exhausted”, “frustrated”, “deeply disappointed”, “upset”, pissed, and enraged – right along the spectrum to a breaking point.

In an effort to minimize these moments and reduce their impacts, we can learn to shatter these stressors as if breaking a window into a million pieces, allowing us to reclaim our mental clarity and peace.

Imagine a moment when a thought or feeling persistently nags at you, like a pebble in your shoe. This relentless discomfort can be addressed through powerful strategies and tactics like Swish Patterns and choice deletions. These methods allow us to take that negative thought or feeling and metaphorically smash it into a million pieces, replacing it with a positive, empowering image. For instance, if you're constantly worried about meeting deadlines, envision that worry as a fragile glass window. Now, see yourself with a tool that represents your strength and confidence, shattering that window into countless fragments. The image of broken glass is powerful—it signifies the end of one way of thinking and the beginning of another. Of course there are others.

Once the window is broken, visualize a new, clear view ahead of you—a scene filled with calm, control, and confidence. This new perspective is what replaces the old, stressful thoughts. With practice, your mind begins to automatically swap stress-inducing thoughts for these empowering images. This mental shift not only reduces stress but also enhances your ability to handle future challenges with a calm and focused mindset.

Incorporating these techniques into your daily routine can make a substantial difference. Start each day with a few minutes of visualization, smashing any lingering negative thoughts and replacing them with positive, motivating images. This practice rewires your brain, creating new neural pathways that prioritize calmness and efficiency over stress and anxiety.
