[@khaledyasser8293]

He’s very right IF your stress is caused by avoiding something. That’s not the only source of stress though. You can be stressed over how you think people will treat you (even for things outside your control), you can be stressed over uncertainty about the future (which you can never take away), you can be stressed due to being put in an extremely competitive environment (where even if you’re doing your best to perform that doesn’t mean the stress goes away), you can be stressed from comparing yourself to others (even if you’re taking action to make up for your shortcomings), etc. Stress is too “blunt” of a diagnosis for anything to really be done about it. That’s why people recommend meditation or breathing exercises, because they always work at treating the symptom that is stress. But in every case you have to address the root of your stress. Could be a negative core belief, could be a genuinely bad situation, etc. The former is very common imo, and can be addressed much more easily than the latter.

[@loversandlosers]

[@obscure.reference]

these are still things you can take action towards mitigating

[@khaledyasser8293]

@@crazyrr144 @obscure.reference of course these are still things you can take action towards mitigating, I never said otherwise. I said taking action towards mitigating some things doesn’t always make the stress go away. If you believe you need to be a billionaire to be worth anything for instance, you will remain stressed about your financial situation at least until you do, even if you’re doing everything in your power to become a billionaire. Because the stress is coming from your perceived worthlessness, and that will stay there so long as you believe you need to be a billionaire to be worth anything. And there ARE some things you can’t take action towards mitigating: You can be insecure about your height, and that can cause you stress, and there is nothing you can physically do about it. What needs to happen in that case is losing the insecurity, but again, that won’t happen through physically getting taller.

I mean meditation helps you understand that the problem (edit. Or the negative thoughts about something) comes from within you. It's just another step to what Jeff proposes here. You actually internalize that there's no reason to have anxiety. It's not any less of a bad suggestion.

[@IsaacMazur]

That’s the problem with ass-backwards modern “meditation” Meditation should be about developing awareness and presence in your everyday life, which would lead to you making mindful decisions in regard to fixing the problems in your life. Instead, many people believe it is about “breathing the stress away” and “positive affirmation” You’re literally just gaslighting yourself into denial that there are areas of your life that you’re neglecting. Thats why these “yoga/meditation” people are some of the most high strung out there. Their lives are falling apart and they think the solution is deep breaths.

[@suuujuuus]

I mean there are two kinds of stress. The stresses he talks about go for me into the normal category: Clear cause + clear reaction There is another unhealthy kind of stress, e.g. chronic pain for whatever reason not treatable or negative childhood experiences that have burned themselves into your bodies memory. Its the Pavlov Dogs kindof stress, that causes perceived helplessness. The real kicker starts when these kind of stresses mix themselves with normal stresses. You perceive helplessness even though the solution is right in front of you, and even if you take it the usual relief is replaced by exhaustion. Its like your body has been totally convinced of your own effectlessness. Reverting this is not simple, especially if yourunhealthy stress is still frequent.

[@HEADSHOTPROLOL]

100% this, thanks for shouting it out cause that's a really important extension and no comment here seemed to acknowledge it. Like at face value, with no deeper inhibitions where you're a fortunate and healthy mind to take situations in clear isolation, then yes this will work and you'll be relieved. But stress doesn't end there for some, for some it's not caused by mere individual situations. It's at the root of their very being due to the aforementioned reasons you brought way. Maybe another way to differentiate it is stress vs anxiety. Stress is clear cause + clear reaction as you said, while anxiety just is. And yeah, that won't go away by remedying disconnected problems. That's a long term healing process. You can still apply this theory to that I suppose but it's not a phone call away. It's years if not decades of constant work to finally reach any form of peace.

[@bobriquardo5317]

Exactly!

[@mobbs8229]

This, plus I think "time is the ultimate cure"; as time passes, you start to see how even with your inaction, a good portion of problems just go away on their own. Sometimes, not with the optimal outcome but they do. And in this regard, I believe writing helps. Notes here and there to show you what's on your mind right now, will give you perspective also, into the patterns of problems that go away from those you did well with, and what you actually did.

[@poika22]

It is simple. Boomer advice was right all along. You can spend 8 hours a day watching video essays on youtube or reading literature trying to come up with more detailed descriptions of your problems, or you can just man up and stop wallowing.

He’s right. Unfortunately things are never as simple as alleviating stress by taking simple actions. For example, there are people who grew up in extremely stressful physical environments and as a result have developed a high cortisol bodily response. Later in life, their cortisol naturally rises more than the average, and they feel stressed as a mechanism of this physiological response. So in other words, stress is hard and stress sucks and many people cannot will it away.

Yes unfortunately there situations like this: You are stressed because you have a very tight deadline for completing something. Perhaps it's a task that should be done in 6 hours but you were given 3-4 hours (end of day) to complete. Doing the task doesn't make the stress go away and it only increases as time passes. You somehow complete the task in time but had to cut corners. Now you're stressed from possible reprimands from your supervisors. Thankfully that didn't come or it wasn't serious. As you go home you start dreading the same thing happening again tomorrow, as it did yesterday and the day before that and the day before even that. For some it's a luxury even being able to address a stressful situation.

Jeff is giving the senior manager talk here, gaslighting people into thinking that if you are feeling unwell due to stress is because you are doing something wrong.

Maybe something can be attempted with collective action, but that takes a lot of work and is only a long-term game.

[@lukkkasz323]

The task here isn't doing the task, but figuring it out in your mind. The stress comes from being unable to figure it out, how to fit 6 hours into 3-4 hours. The problem is that often this isn't something that has easy first steps to get the ball rolling and lower the stress. It's like a maze; you can solve 90% of it and come to a dead-end. It's stressful, because it's a hard problem, not like the one described with the video. If you can start solving a problem by just sending an e-mail, it might not be that hard of a problem.

This is totally fair. I have a good work ethic and will-power to complete those stressful actions, BUT in recent years my worsening depression disorder has limited my ability to do so. I've learned a lot from therapy about how to manage my depression, but there's only so much you can do when there's a chemical or hormonal imbalance causing it. My depression causes a number of physical symptoms, such as body aches and extreme fatigue, and while I generally tend to recognize these stressful chores hanging over me, I just DON'T HAVE the energy to complete them when I'm feeling like that. My doctors and I are getting closer and closer to working out that chemical imbalance in my body, and I'm slowly regaining my energy and work ethic! But I wonder how many people feel stressed, because they're legitimately out of control due to something like depression.

[@NoahArk-xy2nb]

Are you eating healthy and exercising? And drinking about 2 cups of water every 4 hours or so? Lack of energy or fatigue could be due to not giving your body the nutrients and water it needs, and lack of physical exercise. Don't chug a bunch of water in one go or you will pee it all out. Sometimes fatigue can come from dehydration. To not pee everything out, one must drink a little bit through out the day. Chugging a bunch of water at once will cause your body to eliminate the sudden increase of water intake. The body knows that too much water can cause water poisoning and it will expell it all if it noticed the sudden intake of water. So drink about 2 cups every 3-4 hours to stay hydrated and energized. Especially during hot summer days.

[@gravesbroderick]

We did discover recently that I have a folic acid disorder, and taking supplements for that seems to be helping a little bit 👍 still a work in progress though

What happens if stress comes from not being allowed to go to restroom in an entire work shift?

[@Lieutenant-Dan]

Taking action can definitely help with certain kinds of stress. Stress comes in many forms though. The definition of stress is mental or emotional strain which is very broad.

[@shoobiesful]

so the best situation is to be out of work, but love it , then you will live stress free and not have to work. sounds simple enough

[@AMatofFact]

This man has never had a problem outside of his control.

[@loguski755]

Exactly my thoughts. Bro had an ideal spawn point and won the health lottery so all his problems are controllable. That’s definitely not the norm though

As a true empath, I can sense that this man will be very successful in his career.

[@JTD472]

Good points but he’s describing anxiety or worry (or something similar) more than “stress”, as “stress” can refer to all kinds of difficult activity, like hard work as he mentioned or physical activity

I guess unions are a large source of stress for Jeffey

[@Charlay_Charlay]

Its crazy how he went from generic CEO male thats balding to Bald CEO.

[@shayorshayorshayor]

So being lazy = stress? Got it

[@barnam_das]

Eventually stress comes around when laziness is your way

[@jarlbalgruuf8375]

Having billions upon billions of dollars in the bank also helps somewhat with stress

A billionaire lecturing me that my stressors must follow the same logic as his stressors

[@db165]

He strikes me as a well read man. It’d be nice if he could share some books with the world

[@miyavizim]

Too bad he closed down book depository, free shipping worldwide!

[@rj28videos93]

Hope this man will get a good job

Stress is the difference between your expectation for reality and reality itself

[@mryan4452]

So you're essentially saying to keep lowering your expectations? I have given this thought in the past. I'd refine that a little, stress comes from the difference between the expectations you have of other people and reality. I do find that somewhat useful? Though not quite fully sure. But I also find it tends to lend to a negative and non-trusting view of others as you lower your expectations, which may be a vicious cycle?

[@TK0O0O0O0]

Say what you want about JB. He’s a smart dude and this is solid advice

[@ZlotaEra]

It makes alot of sens when you think about it just for a quick moment.

[@jashanarora17]

I resonate with this so deep! It is so true.

[@josephwhittaker442]

Man people who live a privileged & luxurious life have such simple answers.

[@sadhna1gaurav]

Such wise words. 👍

[@AnonYmous-iw6rh]

Yep Procrastination = Stress Levels📈📈

[@abdallababikir4473]

I agree with the out of work thing, you can't enjoy life if you're not hustling*
