Thinking outside the box

gypsysoulcreations/
....requires a person to be willing to think past accepted concepts and perspectives, to strive for the different. Thinking outside the box means seeking creative ideas. This form of pondering requires practice.
Develop a new approach to solve problems. Be open to new possibilities that don't conform to the conventional ideas. Go beyond normal and look for alternative wisdom.

Find the balance:
Stress
Recreation
Work
Stressors = internal or external factors
negative = I am: feeling stress, under stress, stressed out, stressed
This is: stressful, stress producing
positive = adrenaline rush (for performance)
Most stress = NOT life-threatening situations
Due to: public speaking, meeting new people, speaking English, etc.
Intensity of stress depends on how it is perceived
deadlines, speaking English to a foreigner, situation change
Four categories:
1. Survival Stress = "fight or flight"
2. Internal Stress= when people make themselves stressed
worry about things that can't be controlled; put self in proven
stress-causing situations
3. Environmental Stress = pressure from school, family, large crowds,
or excessive noise
4. Fatigue and Overwork = (Burn out) builds up over a long time and
can take a hard toll on your body caused by:
working too much or too hard at a job, school, bad time management
lack of R & R (rest and relaxation)
