Hello Radhakrishna Samaga,
Thank you for sharing that valuable insight. The 90/10 principle by Stephen Covey is indeed a wonderful principle to incorporate into our daily lives. It can have a profound impact on the way we handle situations and can help reduce stress considerably.
The 90/10 principle implies that 10% of life is made up of what happens to us, while the other 90% is decided by how we react to what happens to us. Here's how you can apply this principle in your daily life:
1. 🤔 Understanding the Principle: The first step is to truly understand what the 90/10 principle means. Remember, we can't control the 10% of what happens to us, but we can control the 90% of how we respond.
2. 💫 Identifying Stress Triggers: Identify situations in your day-to-day life that stress you out or annoy you. This could be a traffic jam, an angry client, or a challenging task at work.
3. 🤰 Analyzing Reactions: Next, analyze how you usually react to these situations. Do you lose your temper? Do you get overwhelmed and stressed out?
4. 🌀 Changing Reactions: Now, think about how you can change your reaction to these situations. Instead of getting angry at a traffic jam, can you listen to an audiobook or some calming music?
5. 🌴 Practicing Mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness and meditation can also help manage stress levels. This helps you remain calm and composed even in challenging situations.
6. 🌀 Repeat: Continue this process of identifying stress triggers, analyzing reactions, and changing reactions for all stressful situations in your life.
Remember, change doesn't happen overnight. It is a gradual process, so be kind to yourself and take one step at a time.
🤍 The aim is not to eliminate stress completely, but to manage it in a way that it doesn't affect our mental and physical health.
Hope this helps and you find it easy to incorporate the 90/10 principle in your life.
