How to take action after listening to this episode:

  • Think about what specifically is causing you the most stress at the moment. I do mean specifically - try to go as deep as possible.
  • Once you've identified one thing that is causing you stress, think about ONE thing you can do about it. There's ALWAYS something we can do about it, whether that means impacting the outcome itself, or just impacting the way we're framing the situation in our minds. 
  • Pick one small thing that you can do about whatever's stressing you out, and just DO it!
