Hey, team, grades are here walking back to the building. Better Humans Project podcast. Your little corner of positivity in the world, well, hopefully a little corner of inspiration, of motivation of something that will make you get off your butt and do something about your life, whatever it is you want to change, something that gives you the courage to be slightly different than where you currently are now, even if you love where you are. I think we're a growth animal, and if we're a growth animal, we need to keep growing in order to be happy, healthy and moving along in the world. So that's my solemn belief and I hope that you find this a place to do that. A little bit of housekeeping. I get people regularly contacting me through mostly Instagram. It seems to me the way people send messages these days, and they're always asking me if I still mentor people one on one.

Now.

Now.

I don't do a lot of one on one mentoring, but I do do it. So if you reach out or go to the website, there's links in the bio and it'll just show you where you can find the avenues to contact me. And when I'm on an adventure and if I've got spare time, I most certainly will do a mentoring session with you. How I do that? I kick off with what I guess it's called a discovery session.

You know.

You know.

It's just a hey, let's see if we match, Let's see if we can work together, Let's see if I can help you explain to me what's going on in that session, which is forty five minutes to an hour. Even if we decide not to work together going forward, you're going to go away with lots of usable stuff that you can make some changes and adjustment right then and there and then after that. So that's like a strategy session. What is it? What's the challenge, what's the problem, what do you want to change? What's our strategy going to be? After that? I do a sixth session block normally, which is a strategy attack. That's where we look at the strategy and we work in six sessions what we could do to make drastic changes. Because that's my job. If we're just going to meander along and you're going to procrastinate, you don't need me for that. You can do that yourself. So I will help you with that. Other ways to get involved with me, come on an adventure Kakoda Evers, base Camp, Mount Kilimanjaro, whatever the case may be. Lots of adventures again, links are in the on the show notes Adventure Professionals dot com dot AU. Yes it's a shameless plug, but it's through that business that I get to around this podcast because that's how I pay for all of this stuff. It's sponsored, I guess from one of a better word, through my own businesses. So we do personal development, I guess through fitness, mindset and adventure. We've got a gym here in Brisbane called Project one eighty and new Stead near the Brecky Creek Hotel. We've got obviously the mindset side of things, the mentoring, the youth development programs coming out and talking at workplaces and so on. And then we've got the adventure business, which I firmly believe is the best personal development in the world. And I guess that kind of ties me into today's topic. And today's topic is around stress, the fact that people do what they can to avoid any form of stress in their life and as you and I know impossible, you will never fully avoid stress. Stress is just what life is sometimes, because life is not just us going through the world doing our thing, it's the other eight billion people on the planet also doing theirs. And so when we're interacting with other people, people have got different agendas, different experiences, going through different things. There's naturally going to be a little bit of stress attached to that. So here's what I want you to consider. Stress is literally the only thing that makes you better, the only thing that makes you improve. Now you might go, oh, I don't know about that, because I don't like being stressed, But hear me out. There are two different forms of stress. There's a thing called U stress, which is spelled eu strebs, so U stress. Now use stress is a positive form of stress. Think about exercise. When I exercise, it's hard work at the time, but the result is really good. Think about chemotherapy when someone's going through cancer treatment. Chemotherapy I went through that with the kids, mum, with my ex wife last year's hectic. It really is a chemicals. My understanding of it, as best I can describe, is it attacks the body, the good cells and the bad cells, so that you don't that's a level of stress. But why is it you stress? Because if it works, it kills the cancer. So what you're putting yourself through is worth it to kill the cancer and to keep you alive. So that's you stress. It's things that we do. It's putting yourself purposefully in challenging situations, going and crossing the Kakoda track or ever going ever, it's based on climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, exercising regularly, putting yourself up in public speaking courses. If you hate that sort of stuff, putting yourself in uncomfortable situations on purpose to make you better, that's you stress.

Now.

Now.

The other version of stress is called distress. Now, when we're distressed, that's normally a negative form of stress. Stress that is thrust upon us. We didn't choose it. It just came our way. We all have have it. It happens to all of us at some point in our life. Some of us it happens to more regularly. Why my opinion, because you're trying to hide from stress, you're trying to get away from ever being put in uncomfortable situations. And I see it happening more and more with young people. Mums and dads don't want to make them uncomfortable, to put them into situations of things they don't like to do. What your teaching them is don't be stressed. Will do everything we can to clear stress from your life. Therefore they can't get better. Therefore you can't get better. So when you put yourself in challenging situations, you stress. When you put yourself under some sort of level of stress in order to get better, even if it makes you uncomfortable, what do you think happens when distress comes your way? You have the capacity to handle it because you've taught yourself that when I'm under pressure, I'm okay. I come out stronger even if I hate it at the time. The use stress you put yourself through prepares you for the distress you're still going to go through. And here's the kicker for those of you trying to avoid stress all together. You're still going to go through it. You're just going to have less capacity to deal with it. But once you get through it, once you get out the other side, you are going to be stronger for the experience. So what's the point of the topic today? Go out and put yourself in uncomfortable situations on purpose, on a regular basis, as often as you can, at least once a week. I've got a good friend who with her exercise program. She pushes herself pretty hard and she calls it her daily dose of discomfort. Now, if you looked at her, she's jacked six pack, always smiling even when she's struggling. You think she loves exercise, but she still calls it her daily dose of discomfort. She's putting herself under you stress on purpose, so when distress comes away, she has the capacity to handle it. And I'm encouraging you to do the same thing, because stress is literally the only thing that helps you grow and improve.
