Previous Episode: Is Stress Making You Fat

Next Episode: Concerns About Electronic Screens And Children (a rant)

In this heartfelt episode, Chris explains how his passion for sharing his experiences about stress and wanting to help others inadvertently turned into a source of stress!

If you want a reminder about balance and how we can all achieve it, this podcast is a must to begin a new year with a new focus.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are unexpected challenges when doing anything. This applies to this podcast as any podcast requires a level of preparation and research.
Trying to ensure that every show is the best it can be can put the host under pressure. For Chris this was linked to the ‘fear factor ‘– the fear of not being able to create the best show possible. To mitigate this he over prepared and as a result of this lost focus on the important reason for hosting a podcast - to create an enjoyable show.
In trying to create a series that helped to share experience and relieve stress for others Chris realised he had created an incredibly stressful lifestyle for himself.
This reflective learning curve has helped to redefine the focus and structure of the podcast moving forward.

What can you learn from this episode?
Trying to juggle too many things at once is not sustainable- try do something about it

If you lose sight of what is important you need to take time out to find out what it is.
You always have choices, you can always change to make things better. This may mean changing direction completely.
If you are not happy either drop it or change direction. Even if you’re invested in something financially you must consider walking away from that choice if it doesn’t make you happy.
Almost nobody gets it the right first time and that’s ok. You can learn from experience and change things around to keep moving forward.
