HE TOP 5 CAUSES OF STRESS FOR BLOKES

We all logically know that things continue to change at an ever increasing pace and it feels like the number of balls and other things that we juggle continue to increase in number and weight.

And when we don't look to proactively manage our stressors, it leads to a sense of overwhelm and then we end up having to reactively manage the situation we are placed in. And normally requiring the intervention of health practitioners

So with prevention being better than a cure, below are the top 5 stressors for Blokes and would be interested if all agree or whether there is something else that should be on the list?

Finances
Family & Relationships
Job Stability/Career
Pace of Life
Health

And if you agree with the above list, how are you managing your stress relating to these everyday issues?

Are you managing them?

Are you overwhelmed?

Most people will have seen the following graphic regarding the 4 stages of learning, but I was exposed to a different slant on it recently via The Influencer Project.

Fair to say in initial conversations regarding i Coach Blokes, everybody has said to me the concept and the book are both great initiatives and something that is very much needed.

But here is the rub. Everyone sees the value, but for someone else. Because seeing someone else is easier than looking in the mirror and reflecting.

So maybe you don't have any unresolved issues but know mates who do and who would benefit?

Which led me to reflect on the model of the burning building dilemma which is similar to the 4 stages of learning but is subtly different and comprises of

- I don't know what I don't know or living in BLISS (for as the saying goes, ignorance is bliss!!)
- I know that I don't know (there is a PROBLEM)
- I know but I don't do (stuck in a rut, autopilot which requires EFFORT)
- I know, I realise, I do (leading to resolution of the issue and MASTERY)

So take some time today to reflect on where you are currently at.
Do you not know?
Do you know that you don't know?
Do you know but don't do?
Or are you doing something about it?
