International Stress Awareness Week

An endless number of things around you can trigger stress. Like technology we use (freezing of computer or app when you are most busy), unfriendly remarks (in social media), problems at work (a toxic workplace or a colleague), financial problems, external crises, difficult family relations, etc.

However, those external triggers around us aren't the real cause of stress.

It is foolish to blame those triggers for our own inner stress reactions! Outer stressors just trigger your inner subconscious reactions.

It is you who has reactions! All your reactions are learned subconscious patterns.

The problem with all stress triggers

Have you experienced that when you remove one external stressor, there is always another stressor appearing?

Our own inner 'automatic' reactions to all possible triggers around us are the fundamental cause of why we experience stress. Without our inner subconscious reactions, there would be no serious stress reactions.

A calm mind can remain peaceful, regardless of the stressors around it. The reactive mind can't.

The real reason for stress

Stress happens to us because we lack fundamental intrapersonal skills to deal with our own inner processes.

That is why stress is experienced even in the most perfect workplaces with truly awesome perks, and also among the richest people in the world.

Stress will always catch you unless you learn intrapersonal skills to deal with your own 'automatic' reactions. So, in the final analysis, avoiding stress always demands personal responsibility! It also demands a practical application of your intrapersonal skills.

Reducing stress is the cornerstone of your mental wellness, as it creates the foundation for clear thinking, a calm mind, and sustainable performance.

When stress levels are reduced effectively, employees are better able to focus, make sound decisions, and maintain a positive outlook. This directly fuels employee engagement, as people who feel mentally supported are more motivated to contribute and take ownership of their work.

Lower stress also enhances productivity by reducing burnout, absenteeism, and costly turnover. Ultimately, a workplace culture that actively prioritizes stress reduction is investing in both human potential and long-term business success.

Stress reduction also ensures excellent health, both on the mental and physical wellness levels.
