Posted on June 24th, 2008 by Rob McPhillips
What is stress?
You could say it was making and uploading a video for the first time 
.
Sorry for the delay, but getting to grips with a new technology is always filled with potholes. I would have liked to have made the video better, but I if I was to get anything out this week, it would have to be this.
The written version on what is stress is here and the audio version is here.
Hi Rob,
I thought this was magic. You’re stuff is so uplifting – you make me really believe I can do this – and I am already to some degree with your help! I think seeing and hearing you say the words helps it to come to life.
Thank you so much
Ruth
Good Job Rob.
Looking forward to hearing your tools for managing stress. I think stress can be equated to the inherent inner belief that you might not be able to complete a task, job etc. Or the inner belief that you may not have the means to achieve. I think overcoming this might mean to weigh up the reality of the situation against your beliefs. Ask questions: have I done anything like this before?
What resources do I have that I can draw from to complete this task?
Nice Sweater ; D
You speak very clear and have ideas that are refreshing. We await your next talk.

Top stuff Rob. Your definition of the conscious thought and stress has really hit a chord with me.
Looking forward to the next part.
Cheers!
[...] part one of this series we talked about what stress is. My definition was that stress is the conscious awareness of a thought. Today we’ll start [...]
Thanks Ruth, Sanjay and The MM.
Ois, yes I think it’s basically all a question of perception.
And by the way remember the eleventh commandment;
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s sweater.
