Stress Comes From Conflicting Goals, Not Hard Work

A lot of people think stress comes from “working too hard”. It doesn't. Stress is created through tension - In most cases, being that you want two things at the same time that are at odds with each other. For ex. you want to be successful and build a big business but you also want to spend time with friends. So you go out late, party then regret it in the morning because you are behind. And because you never internally resolve what you truly want, you just sit in this anxious limbo where everything feels slightly wrong but you can't point to why. That’s how stress is caused, and in most cases, you don’t even realise how simple the fix is (I know because I deal with this all the time) Write down every single negative thought. Every possible scenario you're worried about without filtering or organising it, just dump it all out. Keep writing until you start repeating yourself. Decide what you want and what you are not willing to sacrifice to get it. What happens is you eventually break it down to the one core thing you're actually afraid of. The real one underneath all the others. Then you can actually take action.
