Is Your Micro-Stress Lifestyle Possibly Killing Your Drive?
This is a contributed post.
Life can look completely normal on the outside, right? Like, work gets done, errands happen, somebody remembers to buy toothpaste, and nothing is technically “on fire.” Sure, you know to take care of your mental health, you know to take action, but there’s still some stress here and there. But that can’t be all that bad, though, right?
Well, does that low-level tension ever leave,e though? For a lot of people, it feels like the brain is running multiple tabs in their head all at once. And while it might not seem like a big deal, well, micro-stress is obvious dress. Basically, it’s the daily stuff that just keeps stacking, and stacking, and stacking, until energy drops, confidence feels a little shaky, and well, yeah, your drive could very well take a hit too. But that’s why you need to try and sort out this micro-stress, but how? Where do you even start?
Micro-Stress is Basically the Daily Build-Up
Okay, so micro-stress is basically the routine that looks fine but feels exhausting. It’s caffeine in the morning because sleep didn’t hit, caffeine in the afternoon because the day won’t end, and screens at night because the brain wants a reward for surviving. Now, does any of this sound like your life at all? Well, it eventually gets to the point where you lose motivation, motivation for anything, be it getting out of bed, working, cooking, spending time with your partner, being social, just one by one, softly and slowly, you get worn down.
Is Self-Confidence Taking a Nosedive?
How's your confidence? For a lot of people, small stressors can snowball, and that includes confidence. It’s the confidence within yourself, your performance, your thoughts, your actions, your looks, well, any and all of it, honestly. Actually, when it comes to physique in general, well, that’s one of the most common microw stressors around.
This goes for both men and women, chances are, you’re probably more than familiar with this big push for people to look perfect, like Botox, anit-aging stuff, wrinkles aren’t allowed, lushes hair, trendy clothes, being skinny, being fit, having a 6-pack, well, basically what you see online and those constant ads from skincare clinics and plastic surgeons, And so it can take a toll, right? It’s not even about vanity, sure, that’s nice, but confidence just touches everything.
But of course, the fix is up to you (and no, that doesn’t mean doing it to a plastic surgeon either or getting Botox and fillers). But what do you think would help? Would it be strength training? Would it be getting into a fun hobby that helps you walk more? Would it be something more bedroom-specific, like getting male enhancement that works to help you get some confidence back? What about a new haircut?
Also, don’t follow trends, and don’t let strangers online who have zero impact on your life affect the way you think of yourself. Sure, that sounds generic, but it’s the truth, though.
How Much are You Using Caffeine and Screens?
And why is this relevant? If the brain is wired all day, the nervous system stays on alert, and the night ends with a screen inches from the face, the body doesn’t magically switch into relaxed mode. It stays tense. Then someone wonders why things feel off, and it’s like, well, yeah, obviously. So late-night screen use and relying heavily on caffeine throughout the day is a bad combination.
