Stress is not linked to success. Sure, there are plenty of individuals who succeed at very high levels and endure massive amounts of success, but that doesn't need to be the case. When we delink them in our belief system and manage both separately, we can create exceptional results without destroying ourselves. Stress is a sign that you are not engaging and managing your nervous system in a way that allows you to experience life from a place of creation instead of survival. 

The primary elements of this episode are:

  1. Stress and success can be managed uniquely. This takes first understanding that we need to tend to them both differently at the same time. 
  2. Our sympathetic nervous system is responsible for flooding our bodies with cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine when danger shows up in our lives, but most people become addicted to these chemicals because our sympathetic nervous system never shuts off. This happens because of the environment and the abundance of stimulus in today's society. 
  3. When we allow ourselves to see a new future for ourselves and to feel like we are currently living in those circumstances, we can reengage and turn up the volume of our parasympathetic nervous system so that we can experience calm, peace, and internal harmony. This is when we can be most powerful in creating even higher level results.
