Stress is your greatest performance enhancer *

Stress is your greatest performance enhancer, but only if you know how to use it.

The Yerkes-Dodson Law suggests there's a lot of nuance to the relationship between stress and performance. 💡Stress & performance share a curvilinear relationship so stress can boost performance up to a point, but too much can hinder it.

🎯The key is to find that sweet spot!

High performers are aware of their individual stress-performance curve and consciously work on shifting the apex to the right, allowing them to handle higher levels of stress without compromising their performance. 📈

🔑 So, what can you do to play the game more effectively? 1️⃣ Develop self-awareness: Understand your stress triggers and identify your optimal stress levels. 2️⃣ Learn stress management techniques: Deep breathing, mindfulness, and exercise can help you manage your stress response. 3️⃣ Embrace change: Adapt to new situations and develop resilience by overcoming challenges.

Stress can be your friend, but only when you strike the right balance.
