Do You Accept?

You can’t control your environment. Or at least, almost none of it.

But you can control your reaction to it.

If someone is offering you stress (bosses come to mind, …) you can decide if you accept it or not.

It has nothing to do with the task. If you do manage to do a task stress-free you will be done even quicker because you focus on the task only, without thinking about what else you should do and about possible negative consequences that don’t happen anyway.

So, if your boss offers you stress and you don’t accept it, guess who it stays with?
