I wish I could have gone to last year's Resource Planning
Summit, even if just to hear Art Mortell. He is a well-known
motivational speaker in technology circles. and he had suggestions
not for just surviving stress, but thriving on it. Replace your
negative addictions with positive ones, such as:
- Exercise (especially aerobic)
- Work
- Relationships
- Solitude (mediation, spiritual solitude, personal
solitude)
If you drop a negative addiction, try to replace it with a
positive one. This will lessen the anxiety of dropping the negative
addiction. Happiness, he adds, is "modifying our expectations to
keep ourselves in balance."
Are you a perfectionist? Or do you keep things in
perspective?
