We also know people who are so positive, to quote Ziglar again, they "would go after Moby Dick and take the tarter sauce with them." In such a time when we need to use our preps or put our emergency plans into action, the stresses mount up. Stress can impede our performance in areas of memory, decision making, and multitasking, as well as increase fatigue.Two basic types of stress: chronic stress and acute stress.Chronic StressRemove the stress, if possibleTake some deep breathsTake a breakBreak things down in to smaller tasksCount to 10 before speaking or respondingTake a break from news & social mediaDevelop Regular routinesPrepping relieves stress & worryMake a plan and work your planAcute stressTrain to handle acute stressVisualize SceneriosThe mind doesn't know the difference between visualization and the actual doing of a thing.A Survival mindset says, "I am ready, I will prevail"A survival mindset is the prepper mindset.
