Tolerations are holes in your personal success cup

Stress is an unavoidable reality of modern life. We all encounter varying degrees of stress and stressors in our lives.

Stress can be generated from external demands or from those within ourselves, by our own expectations, fears, hopes and beliefs. Here the tolerations come in.

Tolerations are self imposed stress.

Tolerations are holes in your personal success cup. They drain away your contentment, your good fortune and balanced life.

They drain YOU. Tolerations make you feel stressed, anxious and less attractive to yourself.

In this lens I talk about the Tolerations and how to Eliminate Tolerations and Destress your Life in simple steps.

Be stress free and enjoy longevity!

Tolerations

Let's define tolerations as things that bug us, sap our energy and add stress.

It's a big part of the human condition to be asked to tolerate a lot of things we don't like.

"Don't complain,"..." Life is difficult...." ..."Don't rock the boat"...

None of the above is a bad advice.

Being flexible, adaptable, having gratitude - these are all virtues. But sometimes the virtues turn into vices.

I am sure you know where it leads - to stress , anxiety and eventually burnout.

Tolerations are holes in your personal success cup

Tolerations drain YOU.

They make you feel stressed, less attractive to yourself and surely to your boss, co-workers, business partners and clients.

How to Eliminate Tolerations and Destress Life in 6 Simple Steps

1. Recognize your tolerations.

2. Recognize the many actual benefits of toleration.

3. Develop a goal or raise a standard that doesn't permit you to tolerate in that area.

4. Reduce or eliminate whatever consequence you fear or whatever risk you run in ridding yourself of the toleration.

5. Develop a healthy respect for your tolerations.

6. Find a support

Recognize your tolerations

Step 1

To give you idea - here's are some of things you would like to stop tolerating:

* Not enough storage space for all my office files
* A desk full of stacks of papers
* Peeling wallpaper
* A overweight partner who is not unconditionally constructive with my child or children
* Being overweight
* A web page that needs updating
* Hair that doesn't look good
* A guest bedroom that needs cleaning up (it looks like a storage room)
* A kitchen that needs a dishwasher (and it shouldn't be me)
* Not enough time scheduled for dreaming

Recognize the many actual benefits of toleration

Step 2

What payoff are you getting? Is it really something substantial?

Or is it simply that you get to avoid standing up for yourself and/or your values?

Develop a goal or raise a standard that doesn't permit you to tolerate in that area

Step 3

You could prefer to express this in numbers - how many seconds you'll allow someone to be boring before you redirect, or stop, their routine; how many hours or days you invest in a thorny project before you tell yourself

"Enough. Too expensive. Move on!"

Reduce or eliminate whatever consequence you fear or whatever risk you run in ridding yourself of the toleration

Step 4

Would super reserves of time , money , space etc. help?

Most likely.

But sometimes all it takes is a resolve not to be pushed around by fear.

Develop a healthy respect for your tolerations

Step 5

They might signal an area that needs strengthening: before you eliminate your tolerations, learn from them.

Find a support:work with Stress Management coach

Step 6

Find a support, it could be a friend or a Stress Management coach who will teach you to manage your stress and create balanced life.

Finding difficult to eliminate your tolerations and live optimal stress on your own?
