Coping with “good” stress

There’s a delightful irony in modern America – just how much we worry about our stress levels. I’m not usually too preoccupied with it except when it comes to losing sleep; I don’t function without sleep! I could actually feel the doors of opportunity beginning to open this week after a lot of work and now working with a consultant. Hard work with results always feels good.
But then come the sly thoughts about ‘now what?’ and thinking that I need to figure out how to negotiate the sale when the phantom offer in the future comes. What marketing do I need to go along with the new look? And so forth… It’s all good but it’s still stressful and my brain won’t turn off when I want it to. So a deep breath and lots of reminders that it’s all just one thing at a time, one foot in front of the other.
The best part is I now feel that my “brand” is solidifying. I know what I represent in the market place and how all those pieces fit together. That’s been holding me back for some time so having the confidence is a huge part of moving forward. I can’t wait to see where it all leads!
