T.E.S.T.

To Evaluate Stress Threshold

There are two mindsets in health. One is the pursuit of comfort. The other is,

being comfortable with being uncomfortable.

The pursuit of comfort accelerates the aging process. By pursuing comfort,

the mind isn’t challenged, the body isn’t tested, one’s energy dims over time, one’s function disfunctions over time, one knows little

about their thresholds, and one is limited in knowing how powerful they are.

The comfort zone is comfortable, but nothing ever grows there.

Being comfortable with being uncomfortable is a mindset. It’s challenging the mind to seek the unknown. It’s pushing the body

to do “one more”, one more rep, one more set, one more mile, one more…

To Evaluate one’s Stress Threshold look to The 5 to Thrive:

Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, Physical Body Care, and Mental Wellness. Use The 5 to Thrive as a checklist to TEST regularly one’s status.

To TEST one’s self is vital to learning, and learning is growing!

Keep TESTing, keep learning & growing!
