00:00:17.320
I'm Patrick Bader, your host of ITM, and today, I'm gonna give you three different tips on
00:00:20.940
what you can do to minimize, if not eliminate, stress and anxiety in your life.
00:00:25.060
I'll tell you, one of the things that used to bother me the most when I got out of the
00:00:27.940
military was, every time I looked at the scoreboard of life, of what I could do, I kept feeling
00:00:33.980
like I'm way behind, and I'm way behind, and I'm way behind, and I'm way behind, and I'm
00:00:37.760
always falling behind, and it doesn't make you feel good, I don't know if you've been
00:00:42.060
there before, and it would give me this feeling of panic, anxiety, and fear, and how do we
00:00:50.260
feel when we have those three feelings in our lives, think about it.
00:00:53.760
So I asked the question, well, what is panic stemmed from?
00:01:06.580
Initially, a lot of times, we think, maybe it's somebody else's fault because of this
00:01:09.680
person, or that person, or this person, or that person, or other people, right?
00:01:13.160
And I realized, it has nothing to do with them.
00:01:18.120
And I said, so now, next step, when you study this subject, what creates panic?
00:01:27.980
You start realizing what causes that, because in reality, what we would all like to have
00:01:43.740
It's never going to be none completely, but as little as possible.
00:01:53.240
One, one, it's having a high level of urgency in life.
00:02:00.700
You see, when you look at the score of life, and you may say, I'm behind because they got
00:02:04.520
a lead on me, my potential does, and I'm not there yet.
00:02:15.320
Everything is just quick, and they feel like they're doing things, but it's kind of like
00:02:27.700
Performers have higher expectations of being urgent than the rest of the people do.
00:02:31.540
Second thing I'll tell you is having been there before.
00:02:36.280
If I am facing a problem that I've been there before, I know handle it a lot better than before.
00:02:44.360
So you need to put yourself in situations where you don't know how to handle it.
00:02:49.860
And you go, you learn, come back and better and better.
00:02:51.800
And eventually, it's just like shooting a free throw like some of these professionals do
00:02:56.220
And the last one that'll take a lot of the stress and the anxiety away is preparation, preparation, preparation.
00:03:05.600
So few people prepare and you are not going to make it to the top level of performance and competing
00:03:16.620
Just because you're talented or you speak well or you do well, all that stuff,
00:03:19.800
if you are not urgent about life, if you're not constantly putting yourself in a situation
00:03:24.060
that you've been there before and you know what to do next, and if you're not preparing,
00:03:27.680
life's going to constantly create panic, stress, fear, anxiety.
00:03:34.400
And you'll always look at the scoreboard of life saying,
00:03:40.720
My challenge to you is get it together, put a plan of action, and start beating your potential.
00:03:48.640
Do better than what you thought you could do yourself.
00:03:51.400
And that's what takes you in the unknown part of life.
00:03:55.100
And the unknown part of life is unpredictable and it's juicy.
00:03:59.000
You experience things you've never experienced before.
00:04:02.000
That's the juice of life that you want to get into.
