Reaction to Stress

Sitting in a restaurant this evening, a young boy around the age of 2 decided to let his parents know that he was feeling stress. He started just freaking out, yelling, crying, and being very transparent about his feelings.

Got me to thinking about the fact that we are all stressed, it is just how we react that matters the most. I was thinking that tomorrow on business calls, when I start feeling stressed that maybe I will react the same way that this young boy is. That would be interesting!

Many of us do react this way, we are just not that transparent. We are all that 2 year old toddler inside. Wailing away with our fists and wanting to scream out in frustration because we are not in full control of our situation.

In fact, maybe we never really feel differently than the toddler, we just have learned socially what is acceptable.
