Coping With Stress & The Law of Resolving Tension
We have all experienced stress and tension at one point or another in our lives. It is the feeling of our thoughts racing a thousand miles a minute that keeps us up at night. It follows us no matter where we go. And just when that stress becomes unbearable, as we prepare to break – a magical epiphany appears. A resolution to the tension becomes clear. This stress and tension is actually part of the resolution, it is the motivator and the force behind the need to change.
Tension can also form around the unknown future, leading to anxiety and stress. In the grips of fear, the road ahead seems dark and long, yet in this darkness we may find our greatest motivation. The law of tension and resolution will work in creating this tension and inevitably manifest the energy and drive necessary to change, grow, and progress.
Frequently, people see these situations as unpleasant, frightening, and anxiety provoking. We run, we hide. Avoiding even the mundane uncomfortable moments of uncertainty we miss the lessons and opportunities to grow and learn. Instead, we can look ahead and embrace these experiences as a necessary step towards personal growth. Embracing our fears, we become resilient and strong, both mentally and emotionally.
Take a rubber band for example, while it is still and laying on a table it is a plain and static object. But, put to use, this rubber band can be stretched and tightened to perform amazing feats of agility. It can propel objects, spring across rooms, and create momentum energy where there was non before.
Look at your life and find the places where there is tension and stress, and ask yourself, “how can I creatively utilize these moments? Where can I propel my future? Am I avoiding this situation for the wrong reasons?” As a catalyst for growth and change, moments of high tension and uncertainty are most important and even necessary. Treasure them for they are gateways to the future you!
