Test of Reason
I have found that applying a test of reasonableness to the various situations that come up is a good way to avoid making them into stress generators!
That's a good question Marcia! When we are in stressed situations, our definitions of normal can change significantly and vary from person to person.
A type of test that determines if a value falls within a range considered normal or logical. Now, how do we describe what's "normal" or "logical" when dealing with stressors?!
Interesting John. I'd like to know more about what a test of reasonableness entails.
Good point Brian. Sometimes we do need to take a step back, put the problem down and return to it later. Going through this process can help immensely.
I believe that we often stress over thing that, if we sat back and looked at the situation, we would realize how simple the solution is.
