He says, "So if I find that some particular thing is causing me to have stress, that's a warning flag for me; what it means is, that there's something that I haven't completely identified perhaps in my conscious mind, that is bothering me, and I haven't yet taken any action on it. I find, as soon as I identify it, and make the first phone call or send up the first email message or whatever it is that we're going to do to start to address the situation. Even if it's not solved, the mere fact that we're addressing it dramatically reduces any stress that might come from it. So stress comes from ignoring things that you shouldn't be ignoring, I think in large part."

An individual wrote, "This is so true. A lot of my anxiety goes away when I actually just do the thing that was causing my anxiety."

A second added, "Absolutely, recognising stress triggers is crucial for effective action. Thanks for sharing this valuable insight on stress management."

"Every time I finally take action on something that needs to be done, there's relief and great joy," posted a third.

A fourth said, "So in simple terms, don’t procrastinate?"

"Correct. Most of the time stress stems from procrastination and lack of discipline and focus to address it," commented another.
