The Mysterious Link Between Success & Stress 1

Here's my simple formula for generating positive stress:  It is for you to concentrate single-mindedly on one thing, the most important thing, and to stay with it until it is 100% complete.

First, define the worry situation or problem clearly, preferably in writing. Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the center. On one side of the piece of paper, write out a clear definition of exactly why it is you are worrying. Proper diagnosis is 50% of the cure. When you have a clear definition of exactly the situation that is causing you to experience worry or stress, you almost always begin to see steps that you could take immediately to resolve the problem.

The major forms of negative stress in your life revolve around blame, anger, resentment, envy, jealousy and other negative emotions that preoccupy the great majority of mankind. The wonderful discovery is that you can short-circuit or de-wire all these emotions by refusing to blame anyone for anything and instead accepting complete responsibility for everything you are and everything that happens to you. Repeat the words, "I am responsible, I am responsible" over and over to yourself whenever you face any problem or difficulty at all.
