IDENTIFY THE STRESSORS THAT ARE KILLING YOUR PERFORMANCE.

Family. Friends. Bosses. Weather.

What is it?
What are they?

What are the stressors in your life that have you jammed up?

Aside from a ballplayer having their daily routine altered, small stressors that compound day after day can lead to a steady decline in performance.

It is funny, because sometimes we are not able to clearly articulate what is bothering us or slowing us down mentally, or even causing us to procrastinate something..

But when we peel back the layers, something as small as forgetting to send a birthday card or a thank you note can really put a hurting on us.

When that TO-DO list or OBLIGATION List gets large enough, we can feel the weight on us.

Well my friends, sometimes you have to cut the rope and let the ship sail.

Sometimes, you cut the rope and the ship sails without returning back to port, and other times the ship sails for a shorter trip until you get your bearings back.

The key is to IDENTIFY your stressors, take action, and accept.

We are all going to be hit with that occasional shit-storm.. but for some people that is their day to day...

When that is the case... you MUST make a change.. you must work to keep your mind free so your body doesn't hoard all of that stress..

Remember.. your stress always goes somewhere... It has too..

So before the water overtakes your boat.. get your pails and start dumping immediately...

Travel light my friends... so when the time comes that you have to carry some extra "goods" or even "bads"... you can handle it...
