Could One Problem Be Causing All Your Other Challenges?
Understanding Stress Chains In Our Lives
If I were to Ask You...
What if...
There was One...
And "Only" One Problem in Your Life...
That Caused "Every" Other Problem?
You would probably think...
I was Insane...
Or Selling You Something...
Like some form of "Magical Supplement" that you would "Only" need to Sell Your Soul For Access To.
Perhaps Both!
Well, I Do "Not" have Anything to Sell Today, so Rest Easy.
But, sometimes Reality can be Wilder than Myth.
Now, is it Possible for "One" Thing to be Causing "All" Your Other Challenges?
Maybe...
But Unlikely.
However, in my Work with Clients, I have Discovered Something Really Fascinating that is "Close" to This.
Usually there only a Tiny Few Things in Our Lives that Cause the "Majority" of the Challenges We Regularly Face.
I Call this a Stress Chain.
This is How It Works...
There will be One Thing that is Going Wrong in Your Life.
The Creates what is Known as a "Second Order Consequence".
Which Continues to Cause More Diverse Problems.
Each New Problem is a Consequence of the Previous Problems.
Think of it like this...
Say that you Live in a House in a Hot Place.
Your Goal is to Keep Cool.
You have Windows and an AC Unit in Your House.
Let's say that a Window Breaks in a Room of Your House that You Rarely Go To...
What Happens?
Well, it is Going to Get Hot!
The AC Unit will then Power On to Try to Keep the House Cool.
Now, Two Things are Likely to Happen.
First, is that Your Electricity Bill will become Astronomical as the AC Unit Puts Extreme Efforts to Attempt to Keep the House Cool...
Mostly Unsuccessfully.
Then, the AC Unit will Be On So Frequently and at Such High Usage that it will Likely Break Down.
Then, the House Gets Even Worse without Any AC.
Now, when "Most" People Look at this Challenge, They May Not Even See the "Real" Problem - The Window Being Broken.
Often, I Find that People are, Metaphorically, Focused on the Astronomical Bill and the Broken AC Unity.
So, You Might get Another Job for More Income, or Pay for a Haphazard Electrician to "Patch Up" the Broken Unity.
The Second Job Adds More Stress to Your Life, and the Patch Up is only a Temporary Fix that Quickly leads to Another Breakdown.
The Extra Heat in the House makes Your Body Extremely Uncomfortable which is Another Stressor.
If there Is Not Enough Money, You Might Choose Worse Quality Food, which is Another Stressor.
Then, the Added Stress of Two Jobs becomes Burnout.
The Worse Quality Food becomes Gastrointestinal Problems.
Now, You're looking at a Bunch of Stressors where You Have No Idea Where to Focus.
All because there was a Broken Window You Were Not Paying Attention To.
But Here's the Thing...
If you Fix the Window...
The House becomes More Bearable, and there are Fewer Stressors.
Then, if you Fix the AC Unit, it will Remain Fixed, because the Window has been Fixed.
Then, Your Body becomes More Comfortable, and you can Quit the Second Job and Buy Better Food Again.
From there, it is Quite Possible that the Gastrointestinal Problems and the Burnout will Simply Cease to Exist.
This becomes the Power of Understanding Stress Chains.
They Play Out in All Sorts of Ways.
Often we Chase the "Solutions" at the End of the Chain.
We Look at (or Dream About) $10k "Burnout Retreats" to "Fix" Our Burnout.
We Look at "Hustling Harder" to Earn an Extra Buck while Pushing Ourselves Deeper into Burnout and Dramatically Decreasing Our Productivity Potential.
We Look at Expensive Surgeries and Questionable Supplements and Treatments to "Fix" Our Gastrointestinal Challenges.
Yet, the Results All End Up Being the Same.
They All Fail to Work because the the Beginning of the Chain is Causing the Same Problems that Continue to End in the Same Results.
If you want to Fix the Stressors in Your Life...
Find the Stress Chains.
I have Found that, for the Vast Majority of People, there are only 3 or Less Stress Chains in their Lives.
If they even Fix "One" of those Chains at the Source?
Their Lives become Significantly Better.
Often Very Quickly.
I have had Clients Remove All of their Dis-Stress in Mere Months.
Some, for Problems that they have had for Years.
Of course, some Challenges will take Longer simply due to the Amount of Damage Our Bodies have Received Over Years.
But, as Humans, we are Incredibly Adaptable.
Our Bodies are, by Design, Able to Overcome So Many Challenges.
We are the "Only" Creatures that have Successfully Adapted to Nearly "Every" Climate on the Planet.
Not to Mention we have Discovered, and are Designing Even Better Ways, to Live in Space, and Soon "Other" Planets.
Why?
Because Our Bodies are "Built" to Accomplish Such Things.
To Heal and to Overcome the Most Intense of Challenges.
But what Stands in Our Way?
Dis-Stress.
As Long as Our Bodies are In Dis-Stress, We Lose Access to these Potentials that are a Natural Part of Our Design as Humans.
Dis-Stress Prevents us from Accessing what is Known as the "Rest-and-Digest" Aspects of our Psychophysiology.
As Long are We are Unable to Access those Functions...
Our Bodies Break Down.
More.
And More.
Until We Collapse.
Burnout is the Extreme Version of Chronic Dis-Stress.
It has been "Medically" Documented to Cause Death.
"Even" in People as Young as their 20's.
How Terrifying is That?
With 80% of the Workforce in Burnout, We Should Be Concerned.
The World Today has a Tendency to Add Stressors On Top of Stressors in Our Lives.
The Stress Chains Extend Incredibly Long...
With So Many Links that We begin to Look like the Ghost of Jacob Marley in a Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol".
But it Does Not Need to Be This Way!
We Must Simply Find the Link that is at the Beginning of the Chain Reaction.
If you End the Chain at the Beginning...
The Other Challenges Either become "Easier" to Solve...
Or, in Many Cases, they Work Themselves Out.
Without Needing You to Add Effort to Solving Them.
This is the Incredible Power of Solving Stress Chains at their Source.
