What if we can avoid stressful circumstances, is there no alternative to performance and health deficits?
Fortunately, there are lifestyle habits that minimize the likelihood of performance, leadership, and health deficits when stressful circumstances mount. Self-care health practices that include relaxation, nutrition, and exercise help to reduce stress-related strain. Although quite important to the performance and health process, self-care health practices deal only with the effects of prolonged stress. If you want to maintain and strengthen your performance, leadership, and health, you need to cope with stresses in a way that turns them into opportunities for new learning, and development. This involves key attitudes and resources that mobilize the coping process.
