When stress builds to the ever-present pressure that squeezes you like an anaconda it can feel like you’re suffocating. There’s no switch to just flip the stress off.
You don’t start climbing Mt. Everest and figure you’ll just “figure it out” along the way. The training and improvement needs to be made in a season of peace and calm.
The same for the stressful seasons in life. Training yourself and taking time to practice catching when you lose your cool strengthen the resolve and mettle you have.
Because, as the old saying goes, when you bear your hardships with a calm mind, you rob misfortune of its strength and burden.
There is little that is a heavier burden than the stress of unmet potential or regret for past inaction. So train yourself to be resilient and anti-fragile in the peaceful seasons in your life.
