What Are the Four Types of Stress and How Can You Gain Control Over Them?
Like it or not, stress is something every one of us will encounter at some point in our lives. For some people, stress is just an annoying side-effect of a busy life. For others, however, stress is much more of a problem.

One Positive Action
Mentally Rehearse Success:
Your brain doesn’t know the difference between something you vividly imagine and something that actually happens. That’s why visualization is such a powerful tool. When you close your eyes and picture yourself succeeding, whether it’s nailing a presentation, staying calm in a stressful moment, or finally finishing that big project, you’re training your mind to believe it’s possible. It’s not some abstract daydreaming; it’s mental rehearsal. Athletes, performers, and high achievers use it all the time because it works.
Think of it as a test run. If you imagine yourself handling a tough situation with confidence, your mind starts mapping out what that feels like. You create a sense of familiarity with success before you even get there. So when the real moment comes, you’re not stepping into the unknown, you’re stepping into something your brain has already practiced. That takes the edge off anxiety and makes you more likely to act in alignment with the version of yourself you’ve already seen winning.
The key is to engage all your senses. Don’t just see it, hear the sounds, feel the emotions, experience the small details. The more real it feels in your mind, the more your brain accepts it as something within reach. Over time, this builds confidence in a way that isn’t forced or fake. You’re not tricking yourself; you’re showing yourself what’s possible. And when you’ve already “been there” in your mind, stepping into success in real life feels like the next natural step.
