Short Wednesday's Wirings clip (host: Kim Zoller) defining stress as the equation stress = pressure / resistance. Presenter invites listeners to examine what they are resisting, suggests that resistance sustains stress, and offers immediate state-based strategies (awareness of resistance and presence) to reduce stress. The piece is a brief reflective coaching prompt rather than a research or technical treatment.
We all have stress in our lives. Some of it is good and some of it is not. When it becomes chronic and it starts to affect us, it is not. Hi, I'm Kim Zoller and welcome to Wednesday's Wirings. So what is stress? Let's look at it as an equation. Stress is equal to pressure divided by resistance. So ask yourself when you feel stressed, what am I resisting? We know the saying that whatever we resist persists. And so what are you resisting that is persisting? Take a moment to think about, is this true? Is it present? Am I present? And what am I resisting? And realize that stress so many times can be changed immediately by our state. When we realize what we are resisting. Have the best day.
