Currently in my life I have been very stressed out, as have many of my peers, but I have begun to wonder if it is really just an attitude.
What made me start thinking about stress being an attitude was my volleyball coach. He is always telling us that when we play excited, we play well, and when we get frustrated, we take our heads out of the game and don't play as well. So is how we play a psychological thing along with being physical? And if it is, how many other parts of our lives can we control with our attitudes?
Thinking positively doesn't change how much work I have to do, and it doesn't get me to bed any earlier on nights I have a ton of homework. However, it does help me get through the next day when I'm only running on 6 hours of sleep.

ReplyDeleteI definitely hear you about life being stressful! But I think it's a really interesting point about your attitude reflecting how you play. You always hear coaches talking about being positive because it will lead to positive playing in the game. But even when you are thinking positive and hoping that everything goes right.. It doesn't always work out that way. So that's a good question.. I think you just found your next topic when your number gets rolled in class! :)
