STRESS SOLUTION

How to lead a calmer and more fulfilled life

WHEN we consider stress, we don’t usually think of meaning and purpose. But living a life that’s devoid of these qualities is inherently stressful. I’d even go as far as to say that the single best way of living a calmer, happier life is to do it with a strong sense of purpose. But what do I mean by ‘purpose’? One way of thinking about it is as living your life on purpose.

People with a strong sense of purpose enjoy significantly better health compared to those who don’t, including less likelihood of developing heart disease, strokes and depression. Research also shows that they sleep better and live longer.

Perhaps more crucially, though, people with a sense of purpose live happier lives.

But here’s the problem. In order to find out who we are and what our purpose is, and then begin to change our lives, we need time. And time is precisely the thing that the modern world is stealing from us.

There are many invisible costs to this, and one of the least understood is the fact that it robs us of the chance to really think about ourselves and our purpose in the world. We all need to feel there’s a point to our existence beyond picking up a pay cheque. If we don’t, we’re automatically living our lives perilously close to our stress threshold.

Firstly, we’re going to look at ways you can start seeing the life you have in a different, more positive way. This will help you achieve a mindset that’s strong and calm enough for you to begin to make changes.

Secondly, I’m going to help you eke out some more time in your busy day to really think. Then, I’m going to give you a new framework so you can start the process of finding your reason to get up in the morning and your true purpose. Once you find true meaning, you will be well on your way to becoming the best, most authentic version of yourself.
