Limiting Stress in the Modern World
In the modern world, various triggers such as being late to a meeting, train delays, or congested commute can lead to stress. These triggers accumulate and are never resolved, leading to a continuous cycle of stress. To combat this, the three Ls model - limit, learn, and listen - is suggested. Limiting stress involves identifying stress triggers and evaluating their necessity. Simple changes like adjusting alarm tones or eliminating stressful relationships can alleviate stress. Continuous engagement of the stress response system can neglect other essential bodily functions like kidneys and the digestive system. Recognizing when stress levels are too high and removing stress-inducing elements from one's life is crucial to maintain overall well-being.
