Science of Stress and Mind Recovery # 2 l Yerkes Dodson Law

Stress is not always the "culprit."..But like,

"Guitar strings" that need to be set to fit.

When we say the word "stress," we often think of

The frowning boss's face, the flooded pile.

Or a credit card bill at the end of the month, right?

So we tend to think...

"A good life is a life without stress."

But you know, psychologically, if our lives

Totally "stress-free."

It doesn't mean we'll be the happiest!

The "Yerkes-Dodson Law" theory

Comparatively, our lives are like "guitar strings."

1. Too Slack Line (Underload):

When life has no goal, no pressure, we feel sluggish, bored, lacking inspiration.

2. Too taut line (Distress):

This is what we are familiar with, carrying heavy expectations, work so swamped that there is a toxic cumulative stress (Distress), a guitar that is too tight, a strong strum, not long...The line is broken (Breakdown / Burnout)

🎶 3. Tight Fit Strap (Eustress):

It's the excitement when we do a new project, the challenge that makes us want to wake up to improve ourselves, the "fit" stress that allows us to enter the Flow State and create the most beautiful music in life.

(Scroll through the illustration to check if our guitar strings are now too tight or slack.)

💡 Thoughts today:

You don't have to try to get rid of all the stress.

We just need to explore ourselves and play "musicians."

That keeps "tuning the guitar strings."

If you feel that it's too tight lately...

Allow yourself to rest. Put the line down.

If you feel that life is crazy..

Try new challenges to tighten the strings a little more.

Become a self-indulgent to be the perfect rhythm of life
