"It is what it is." is a great starting point to decide what makes more sense to do in a given situation, rather than focus on the "what should have been". Hello Greg, great example and suggestion!

“It is what it is.” is a great starting point to decide what makes more sense to do in a given situation, rather than focus on the “what should have been”.

I did a few things as a result...stopped & noticed, took those deep breaths, got out of my head by taking in my surroundings and said to myself "It is what it is." In fact, letting go of one's resistance to reality would be a good addition to the above. Perhaps you were hinting at this with your mention of "mindset options". Hey there Alvaro,

It can be important to differentiate 2 types of stress management interventions: a) ongoing lifestyle and mindset options that can contribute to lower stress levels to begin with, b) specific "techniques" to use in the moment we notice we feel we are getting stressed, for example in the middle of a tough meeting. Let me ask you: when was the last time you noticed you were getting too stressed and how did you react in that precise moment? Hello Greg,

Love it.

Great article, excellently written!!! My favorite part is "Stay in the moment" to reduce stress. It is easy to pile on stressors when you let things get out of control. By focusing on "the moment", you gain control! WOW! Great article, excellently written!!! My favorite part is “Stay in the moment” to reduce stress.
