Manage stress the way Jeff Bezos does!

Stress usually shows up when you're avoiding something you have the power to do.

When I feel stress, I take it as a signal - something is going wrong that I don't fully understand, but my subconscious is already feeling it.

The moment I identify the source and take the first action - maybe a phone call or an email - the stress starts to fade, even if the problem isn't solved yet. Action breaks the paralysis!

Stress often comes not from working too hard, but from ignoring what shouldn't be ignored. Putting real effort into things that are important to you doesn't feel like stress - it feels like meaningful exhaustion.

If you're feeling stressed, ask yourself: what have you been avoiding?
