  • Jeff Bezos Interview
    Founder and CEO, Amazon.com
    Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over. So, if I find that some particular thing is causing me to have stress, that's a warning flag for me. What it means is there's something that I haven't completely identified perhaps in my conscious mind that is bothering me, and I haven't yet taken any action on it. I find as soon as I identify it, and make the first phone call, or send off the first e-mail message, or whatever it is that we're going to do to start to address that situation -- even if it's not solved -- the mere fact that we're addressing it dramatically reduces any stress that might come from it. So, stress comes from ignoring things that you shouldn't be ignoring,

      Em consejo de tu tío es cierto, pero No siempre aplica. A veces puedes saber lo que tienes que hacer y saber como hacerlo, pero por causas o depender de terceros no lo puedes hacer. Hablar de ello y tomar acción en sustituir a los terceros, o hacerlos responsables te quita mucho estrés. Recién estoy aprendiendo esto.

    He’s very right IF your stress is caused by avoiding something. That’s not the only source of stress though. You can be stressed over how you think people will treat you (even for things outside your control), you can be stressed over uncertainty about the future (which you can never take away), you can be stressed due to being put in an extremely competitive environment (where even if you’re doing your best to perform that doesn’t mean the stress goes away), you can be stressed from comparing yourself to others (even if you’re taking action to make up for your shortcomings), etc.
    Stress is too “blunt” of a diagnosis for anything to really be done about it. That’s why people recommend meditation or breathing exercises, because they always work at treating the symptom that is stress. But in every case you have to address the root of your stress. Could be a negative core belief, could be a genuinely bad situation, etc. The former is very common imo, and can be addressed much more easily than the latter.

      If you believe you need to be a billionaire to be worth anything for instance, you will remain stressed about your financial situation at least until you do, even if you’re doing everything in your power to become a billionaire. Because the stress is coming from your perceived worthlessness, and that will stay there so long as you believe you need to be a billionaire to be worth anything.
      And there ARE some things you can’t take action towards mitigating: You can be insecure about your height, and that can cause you stress, and there is nothing you can physically do about it. What needs to happen in that case is losing the insecurity, but again, that won’t happen through physically getting taller.

      Meditation should be about developing awareness and presence in your everyday life, which would lead to you making mindful decisions in regard to fixing the problems in your life.
      Instead, many people believe it is about “breathing the stress away” and “positive affirmation”
      You’re literally just gaslighting yourself into denial that there are areas of your life that you’re neglecting.
      Thats why these “yoga/meditation” people are some of the most high strung out there. Their lives are falling apart and they think the solution is deep breaths.

    I mean there are two kinds of stress. The stresses he talks about go for me into the normal category:
    Clear cause + clear reaction
    There is another unhealthy kind of stress, e.g. chronic pain for whatever reason not treatable or negative childhood experiences that have burned themselves into your bodies memory. Its the Pavlov Dogs kindof stress, that causes perceived helplessness. The real kicker starts when these kind of stresses mix themselves with normal stresses. You perceive helplessness even though the solution is right in front of you, and even if you take it the usual relief is replaced by exhaustion. Its like your body has been totally convinced of your own effectlessness. Reverting this is not simple, especially if yourunhealthy stress is still frequent.

      But stress doesn't end there for some, for some it's not caused by mere individual situations. It's at the root of their very being due to the aforementioned reasons you brought way. Maybe another way to differentiate it is stress vs anxiety.
      Stress is clear cause + clear reaction as you said, while anxiety just is.
      And yeah, that won't go away by remedying disconnected problems. That's a long term healing process. You can still apply this theory to that I suppose but it's not a phone call away. It's years if not decades of constant work to finally reach any form of peace.

    Yes unfortunately there situations like this:
    You are stressed because you have a very tight deadline for completing something. Perhaps it's a task that should be done in 6 hours but you were given 3-4 hours (end of day) to complete. Doing the task doesn't make the stress go away and it only increases as time passes. You somehow complete the task in time but had to cut corners. Now you're stressed from possible reprimands from your supervisors. Thankfully that didn't come or it wasn't serious. As you go home you start dreading the same thing happening again tomorrow, as it did yesterday and the day before that and the day before even that.

      The task here isn't doing the task, but figuring it out in your mind. The stress comes from being unable to figure it out, how to fit 6 hours into 3-4 hours. The problem is that often this isn't something that has easy first steps to get the ball rolling and lower the stress. It's like a maze; you can solve 90% of it and come to a dead-end. It's stressful, because it's a hard problem, not like the one described with the video. If you can start solving a problem by just sending an e-mail, it might not be that hard of a problem.

    He’s right. Unfortunately things are never as simple as alleviating stress by taking simple actions. For example, there are people who grew up in extremely stressful physical environments and as a result have developed a high cortisol bodily response. Later in life, their cortisol naturally rises more than the average, and they feel stressed as a mechanism of this physiological response. So in other words, stress is hard and stress sucks and many people cannot will it away.

There can be a link between worry and stress , but stress is your mind telling you that you're overwhelmed over time in form of panic attacks/ short fuse / high blood pressure etc. You may not even understand this stems from stress as you never really felt stressed. An introvert person doing an extrovert job will constantly be stressed and over time that will develop stress related issues like previously mentioned.

      best way to describe "anxiety" from someone who deals with it. Yes there are certain things you can do to take action, my big solution was no alcohol, more exercise, better diet, and vitamins. BUUUT it doesn't cure it exactly. Picture this... You are hanging out with your friends at a bar or playing a game and, boom out of nowhere your adrenaline starts rushing as if you are in an extremely dangerous situation, you don't know what to do, letting others know something is wrong and attracting attention would just make things even worse. So you have to escape the room quickly without alarming anyone while in your mind you are unsure why this is happening. Over time you can train yourself to identify the signs and just breath to get through it but there is no explanation for it. I have had these many times. Smallest things can trigger it. Mine comes from an extremely self aware state of mind. If I eat a little too much or I get a cold and feel slightly light headed or off, I cannot focus on anything else that is going on, just thinking and analyzing if something really is wrong. A lot of people use it as a crutch and mainly lazy folks looking for an excuse. I will say getting out of the house and tackling tasks will help immensely but it is a demon that is constantly lingering and you learn to cope.

      "Over time you can train yourself to identify the signs and just breath to get through it", "I will say getting out of the house and tackling tasks will help immensely" Helps *YOU* immensely. I bettered myself, was in the best shape I'd ever been, eating well, working well and all of a sudden, I couldn't go anywhere without feeling immediately dizzy, couldn't breath and felt like I was dying. I would go to the gym and where I'd worked out for usually around 2 hours before, I'd go 5-10 minutes and suddenly just anxiety attack. It got so bad that on one occasion I was walking back from the gym and my whole body went numb, I couldn't feel my tongue, my jaw locked up, I couldn't move individual fingers or flex my wrists and just collapsed on the pavement. I couldn't remember where I was, I could barely talk, it was like having a stroke, and it was purely anxiety.
      I am very aware of my anxiety and have suffered with extreme anxiety for years, I've tried drugs and other remedies but there is literally nothing that helps me. It literally just happens, there are some things that are more likely to trigger it but largely just happens completely on its own. Even doing breathing exercises doesn't help, and it always escalates into full blown panic attacks.
      Some months I'll have an anxiety attack maybe once or twice a week, sometimes it'll be lighter or heavier, often I have trouble getting to sleep, other times it'll be multiple several hour long full blown panic attacks *every single day*.
      I do agree lots of people exaggerate it or use it as an excuse, but I just wanted to let you know that your anxiety is not the extent of anxiety, and explaining it to other people as "oh it's just something you work through, and you can get better over time if you train yourself" is very misleading.

    This is totally fair. I have a good work ethic and will-power to complete those stressful actions, BUT in recent years my worsening depression disorder has limited my ability to do so. I've learned a lot from therapy about how to manage my depression, but there's only so much you can do when there's a chemical or hormonal imbalance causing it. My depression causes a number of physical symptoms, such as body aches and extreme fatigue, and while I generally tend to recognize these stressful chores hanging over me, I just DON'T HAVE the energy to complete them when I'm feeling like that.
    My doctors and I are getting closer and closer to working out that chemical imbalance in my body, and I'm slowly regaining my energy and work ethic! But I wonder how many people feel stressed, because they're legitimately out of control due to something like depression.

    • @NoahArk-xy2nb
      @NoahArk-xy2nb 6 місяців тому

      Are you eating healthy and exercising?
      And drinking about 2 cups of water every 4 hours or so?
      Lack of energy or fatigue could be due to not giving your body the nutrients and water it needs, and lack of physical exercise.
      Don't chug a bunch of water in one go or you will pee it all out.
      Sometimes fatigue can come from dehydration.
      To not pee everything out, one must drink a little bit through out the day.
      Chugging a bunch of water at once will cause your body to eliminate the sudden increase of water intake.
      The body knows that too much water can cause water poisoning and it will expell it all if it noticed the sudden intake of water.
      So drink about 2 cups every 3-4 hours to stay hydrated and energized. Especially during hot summer days.

      @@NoahArk-xy2nb yes I'm doing all of that, I appreciate the advice though. I've really never understood why people revere working out as such a major antidepressant...I do it consistently but it has no real impact on my mood. I see all these weightlifting memes about how lifting cures depression, and I just don't get it at all 😂 Maybe it's different for people who have a depressive disorder.
      I've been working with psychiatrists and therapists for years to troubleshoot this, experimenting with medication, diet exercise, and sleep. We did discover recently that I have a folic acid disorder, and taking supplements for that seems to be helping a little bit 👍 still a work in progress though

      Umm honey you’re causing yourself a lot of headache. 83db is the average sound level of a modern vacuum cleaner.
      And you threw a choice word in there “daily”, also known as when the sun is shining. Not “nightly” or “of the evening”. Legally in all 50 states, he can produce up to 85db noise level without punishment assuming it’s before 10:00pm.
      Why are you always sitting at home “daily”? Are you a couch cow? SSI leach, or genuinely disabled? Just curious, cause it’s not normal to sit around all day.
      PS I don’t expect a reply, as you don’t seem like the type to do well with confrontation or you’d have talked to your neighbor not called the police on them.

And yes.. the reason I am stressed has nothing to do with the fact that I have like 2 days to deliver all of that and to do it all in a quality way I would need like 5, it is because I did not take an action towards making that happen. Now, you may think I should tell it to the PM or whoever... well, if you have a shit PM, he will promise whatever... and also, I am on the meetings like 4 - 6hours during the day.

    As a self employed myself, I think this advice is really helpful for your own business. There really is no need to stress yourself besides the tasks you need to do but haven't done. You are your own boss and you alone set the goals compared to being to employed and having set deadlines and working for the goals of others.
    As an employee I think you have double the stress because you are forced into ways which don't work for you, you are a slave to others and the mood of others, etc etc etc

I myself a foreman of a ground crew work harder than most my guys, averaging 21-26,000 step a day. They know, you need anything ask me. I’ll get it asap. We don’t run on time limits unless it’s an outage. We don’t have set breaks, we’re supposed to but me n the guys often take 2 paid 30 min smoke breaks and an hour lunch.
