A Revelation about Stress
While sitting in bed trying to calm down and go to sleep I revisited what stress dœs to people. I have read of many people who say they work better under pressure. This made me think back to my personality profile. It gave some indication of what people would be like under stress. I recall that my tendencies changed, and it is likely this is true for others. Here’s the catch, for the people who work better under pressure they probably are the type of people who when under stress pull up some character traits that are useful for finishing the task (I’m not sure which ones these might be, and it might depend on the task at hand). I know that when I get stressed my dominance drops off the charts, my analytical skills fall and my servant “just tell me what to do and I’ll do it” attitude becomes dominant. I might want to keep that in mind for a mind-heavy task like writing a book. I need to keep stress away, and find (and employ) as many stress relieving techniques as I can.
