4 types of Stress
Time Stress
People feel and think like they don’t have enough time to complete tasks. Fixating on deadlines and volumes of work.
"I don't have enough time" "I'm running out of time" "There's not enough hours in the day"
Anticipatory Stress
The what-if stress - stress we bring upon ourselves.
Using our imaginations against us to create stress.
"What if it goes wrong"
"What if I fail"
"What if I get lost"
Situational Stress
Stress that happens in the moment, right now.
Unforeseen stressful situations that can trigger a whole bunch of different extreme reactions.
Encounter Stress
People encounter new situations, new people, new jobs, all sorts of new situations that bring stress upon people because you feel out of control in that particular situation.
