What is the difference between eliminating stress damage and stress “management”?
Managing stress is like trying to “manage” rough weather after not listening to weather news forecasts. It simply does not work. It is reactive, not proactive. Faster & safer than pills, our skills stop the entire stress damage chain before damage develops. More effective is to accurately perceive changing weather, adapt by dressing appropriately and choosing better activities to easily navigate climate change. “Managing” stress focused exclusively on reducing the effects of the fight/flight reaction. It stopped far short of gaining the health benefits of successfully responding to change. Stress is an amazing biological adaptation signal that communicates when something is wrong – when something needs correction. Correctly utilized, it gives exquisite guidance that improves health and productivity.
