Welcome to 2018! As we all come off the holiday high, or holiday low, of the past few months and get back into the groove of things, I want to talk to you about stress.

During the holidays, while you were off work and out of your normal rhythm, you may have experienced some emotional stress, some family stress, but as you get back into your usual routine, daily grind stress comes up again. And I would hazard a guess that many of you subconsciously think that that stress serves you in your career.

On today’s episode, I break down what stress really is and why it is not necessary despite the conditioning of society that says that stress is good for productivity, that it drives us, that it’s fuel for achieving greatness. Discover what your life could be and how you can open up space for intrinsic motivation by changing your thoughts about what role stress plays in your success.

What You’ll Learn From this Episode:

• What stress is and why it isn’t necessary.
