“We are going to have stress in our lives; that is a fact. Stress often propels us forward, giving us that push we need to finish a project or maybe to make a change in our life that we have been avoiding. Therefore to avoid stress would be to avoid moving forward something I do not think anyone wants to do.”

So what is stress hardy?

“ Stress hardy is when you are aware of negative stress and when you are aware of the feedback that you are receiving from body and mind and you are responding accordingly. As such a stress hardy person learns how to back off before the stress begins to undermine productivity and creativity. A stress hardy person is a valuable employee/family member because he/she manages his/her responsibilities effectively, without allowing stress to reduce productivity and cloud his/her vision of reality.”
