Thank you Adam - this post stopped me in my tracks and really challenged me. It helped me reframe my difficult week ahead as a stress to invigorate and energise. Just as I can relish that tough hill on a run as I know it will give me a real sense of accomplishment and increase my strength in a way a steady plod on the flat never will, so I can change my attitude to short term, ultimately manageable stress which I cannot avoid (other than changing my job and ditching the kids). However, this is only possible as I know I shall get to the summit of the hill and there will be the reward of a downhill when I feel strong and proud of what I achieved. Never ending inclines/ chronic stress is however ultimately physically/ emotionally damaging hence the need for considering your other posts.
