We all know that renting an apartment is expensive. Let’s say you want to rent an apartment in Chicago for example, where a one bedroom apartment usually goes for $1,685.

Breathing happens by itself – most of the time we’re not even conscious of it.

And that’s kind of like stress – we’re not conscious of how we’re reacting to stress, it just sort of happens.

But if you count your breath, you’re aware of it. You can control it effortlessly. It’s just your levels of awareness that make the difference.

It’s the same with stress:

…Doing something so late you get in trouble for missing the deadline.

…Forgetting to pay your bills and getting charged for being late.

…Paying extra for a flight because you couldn’t be bothered to book it there and then.

If you procrastinate, stress can become a serious problem.

If you think ‘I’ll deal with that later’ or ‘I’ll let someone else pick that up’ then you probably won’t!

In fact, in all of these cases, procrastination is stopping you from solving easy problems.

Sometimes our lives are set up for confrontation – we all have different priorities that lead to conflict.

So a big part of dealing with stressful situations is managing the people involved.

Here’s a few tips to help you out:

Look at things from the other person’s perspective. What’s making them tick? What’s are their motivations? If you can understand why they’re being difficult, you can understand how to avoid the stress they’re causing you.
Be ready to compromise. Be assertive but ready to meet a middle ground. For example, say your neighbour is playing loud music that’s irritating you. Compromise with them – can they play their music with less bass? Or at a lower volume? Can they just play their music between certain hours?
Remain calm. When dealing with stressful situations, there’s nothing worse you can do than raising your voice or acting aggressively! Stay relaxed & don’t freak out!
Be proactive. If you can see a stressful situation coming, take action up front to avoid it or minimise the stress as much as possible.
Understand that you know you can’t change someone. No matter how annoying, irritating or how much stress that person is causing you, you can’t change someone else! You can only change the way you react to them.
