Lesson 44: Fight or Flight

When we’re pushed to the brink of our comfort zones, this pings alarms in our brain and sets off the fight or flight response. Clearing seems to trigger our fight or flight response because there are some points when you find discomfort in the tasks at hand.

Today’s lesson is to dial back our tasks or time on an activity if it triggers a stressful response. Today I am meant to do this. I didn’t really have any tasks that triggered stress on me today. The only thing I did have was someone else bothering me with a task at work, which has been ongoing for over a week and that made me frustrated, as it was going against our normal processes and it somehow became my job to do everything. I can’t even say that was stressful as it was more annoying.

I am not sure if I dialled anything back to prevent stress. It was a pretty routine day at work, I went to a meet up about self-improvement, came home, ate dinner and am here writing now. I recognise there will be stressful times but today was not one of them. I will keep this lesson in mind for future.
