This is a particularly busy time of year for everyone. With that comes the pressures and stresses of meeting deadlines. It\u2019s for another blog whether the arbitrary line of Christmas is too heavily administered as a hard stop for people but there\u2019s no debating whether it\u2019s there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussing this with a colleague this week he told me about a similar discussion he\u2019d recently had where he was told that \u2018this is what change feels like\u2019. I know for me that a lot of my stresses this year have been around new challenges. It stands to reason that if you\u2019ve never done something before, or if you\u2019re going through a period of change, that it is more challenging, and therefore more stressful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is normal. So, if you feel like you\u2019re really up against it at the moment, ask how much of those stressors are new things, or things associated with change. It\u2019s likely that a number will be. I see this as a positive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can recognise these sources of stress, then you can also acknowledge that by their nature, they can\u2019t be novel forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, do your best to acknowledge, and weather the storm. You\u2019ll get through it and will have built resilience and capacity as a result! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
