The good stuff usually comes out by adding pressure. Squeeze intensely and relieve the pressure for maximum effectiveness.
It’s all about being intense for a period of time and then relaxing and recovering. The slow and constant squeeze of stress is what kills us. The intense stress followed by intense relaxation is therapeutic.
So squeeze and squeeze hard to get the good stuff to appear. Put yourself under pressure, make deadlines, find ways to hold yourself accountable, find comfort in the uncomfortable, and then set aside time to rest.
Constant lingering stress kills, momentary intense stress strengthens.
Squeeze and release.
