Invisible Impact of Stress

Last week, my colleague lost his laptop on a train, then got a call to go home and take his dog to the vet, and a few other bad things happened. He said “It’s one of those times when everything seems to go wrong at once.”

But is this common belief true? Can you stop it? This question was in my mind for a while until today that I forgot my work laptop and noticed when I was too far.

Then I force my mind to be positive like nothing bad happened. Cancelled my meetings, calmly went back home and listened to the Lex Fridman podcast, took my laptop and back to office which took 2 more hours but the whole time stayed positive. surprisingly no more bad things happened!

If you think of life as a system of waves and energy flows, stress creates “turbulence” in your mental state, making movement of following events harder. As a result increasing chance of more turbulence.

It is like Energy Flow & Resonance: In physics, when something moves with the natural frequency of a system, it requires less effort. Your mind shifting into a more “flowing” positive state could align you with the natural rhythms of the day, making the following events move smoother.
