It's All Good

What's good, my friends. Welcome to the Daily Drip here on the Growthcast. Look, I love this question. What's good? My first response is almost always, it's all good. This was a common phrase that I used throughout my childhood and I still used to this day as an adult. It. This phrase isn't a confrontation, deterrent or anything else.

In fact it's just more of an invite than anything. Look, stress. Stress, it's tough to think about as all good, stress is something that we all experience. It's a challenge, but it really is if you allow it to be a blessing, right? As Kelly McGonigal. Says, stress is your friend. Good stress or bad stress, it's all good.

Today is an invite, a very loud invite for everybody to lump it all into one category and shift your paradigm. Let it's all good. Take on a whole new meaning for you when it comes to stress. The beauty about this type of perspective is there is no mental energy wasted on categorizing and analyzing stressful situations as they pop up simple as easy and simple as powerful.

I wanna be sensitive here, and I also wanna be clear, I am not saying that suffering will not be a part of these types of stressful experiences we encounter. What I want to point out more than anything here on the drip today is that stress makes you. That is the message. Stress provides opportunity.

Stress provides challenges. Stress is in the eye of the beholder. Stress, it makes your heart pound. You're breathing quick and in your forehead. Sweat by way of respected individuals, great people in their own right. Stress, for some reason has been made out to be a public health enemy. However, modern research shows that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case.

This is powerful and it has the capacity to change everything for you if you choose to allow it to. This isn't an easy paradigm shift for people, but like most things worthwhile. That is precisely why we are referencing it today and why you should make it yours, Hard experiences, setbacks, and challenges when it comes to these types of things.

We don't have a choice with what life throws our way at times. How we respond, the stress that follows. That is all on us. It's all good. Sometimes it's better to ask what now instead of asking why, because something's in life lack details and it is up to us. It is up to you to provide that meaning.

Nietzche said, he who has a why to live can bear almost Anyhow. He also said there are no facts, only interpretations. In other words, The bad stress, it's self-inflicted. You are the most important part of any situation you ever encounter. Not the circumstances that lie there. In stress is stress. It's stimulus.

Sometimes that stimulus can be controlled and sometimes that stimulus is controlled and sometimes it's.  the response, however, that's on you. You provide the response, not some outside factor. How you think and how you act can transform your experience of stress. When you choose to view your stress response as helpful, you are building a stronger biological makeup.

You are literally building the biology of courage. As Kelly McGonal says, when you choose to connect with others under stress, you create resilience. Another list here to close us out. Compassion, joy, meaning strength, energy, resiliency, self trust. Yeah, we have stress. To thank for all of these, we experience, stress is your friend.

It's all good, and you will be even better because of it. Have a great day, everybody, and we'll see you guys back here again tomorrow.
