When You're Pressured, RELEASE THE SCREWS
We have various nemesis in life but if there is a commonality amongst us, it is Mr. PRESSURE. PRESSURE is an arrow directed to shoot us down and it comes because it is triggered by many factors, a sampling of which are our NEEDS, EXPECTATIONS, FAMILY, FINANCIALS, SOCIETY, just one too many. With all the technologies on our hands, can we just BLOCK any of these pain points, adding them to our BLOCKED LIST ? Too bad it doesn't work that way though.Before we start attempting to attack the very PRESSURES , we need to understand where and why are these PRESSURES coming into our way Tracing those PRESSURES from the triggers may help lead us back to figure out pre-emptive measures to avert for those pressures to recur again. No point sulking and hosting our self-pity party because we will end up pushing our very own selves deep into that morass.
Once we succumb to PRESSURE, whether we are still in the academe or now at work or in our startup business, PRESSURES will easily push us to give up. Isn't that mind boggling? Once you give up on something where you did invest time, effort and even monies, all those will go down the drain and nothing comes back to you in return. Worst is if we're talking about your family relationships. Will you easily give up simply due to PRESSURES ?
A positive move is to figure out solutions to those problems before you succumb to those PRESSURES. But in practical terms, let me share how I did it because i've BEEN THERE, DONE THAT. First, I pulled the brakes and did ground to a halt. Why ? I had to take a REALITY CHECK, a PULSE CHECK. Where was I ? Was that a one-off thing ? Or have I been going down south and still trending ?
Once you have reassessed everything, this is the moment of truth. Two words can bring up far enough to survive the next upcoming laps. THINK POSITIVE. And I can attest that without those two words, I could be in a place where I'll be off-grid. To THINK POSITIVE, RELEASE THE SCREWS ! How ? Unleash them. And translate them into ACTION WORDS that leads you to CONCRETE ACTION no less. Trust me, this will bring you far enough✅✅✅
