James Loehr tells us the key is not how to get rid of stress, but to learn to perform well under pressure. He has helped many professional athletes and corporate executives get into what he terms the Ideal Performance State (IPS). This zone is achieved by a balance of stress and recovery. IPS is characterized by calmness, relaxation and confidence.
Loehr explains how to learn to take a break from stress and identifies the different types of stresses that lead to certain downfall if not regularly abated. He applies the stress/recovery theory to both physical and mental realms. Also, too much recovery is erosive. The happiest and most productive people have a proper balance and oscillation between stress and recovery in their activites.
Here is a ritual that could help: Get up in the morning and merge your thoughts and actions together in the present by watching your breathing. Then ask yourself why you should fight today. You need a reason to rise your emotions. Then create a vision for the future and contrast it witht the present. Use affirmations to overcome weaknesses. Then, visualize how the day should go.
Many practical techniques and suggestions are offered to help achieve IPS such as affirmations, exercise, nutrition and humour development. Guard your sleep, eating schedule and recovery tactics. Every day is a battle for control of your response to life.
It may be true that you deserve a break today! Use these techniques to come back stronger.

James Loehr convincingly puts forth the argument that, instead of avoiding stress, you need to learn to embrace it and improve yourself by learning to adapt and effectively recover from stress.
An admittedly interesting concept. After reading this book I tried to make myself immune from headaches by banging my head against the wall for progressively longer periods of time. After two weeks I was admitted to the Emergency Room here at El Camino Hospital and diagnosed with a minor concussion. The attending ER doc, Dr. Lee, tried to pursuade me not to continue with this project. I told him about this book, but he was not familiar with it. I was afraid his ignorance would be detrimental to my project, so once I get my doctor's approval to go back to work, I'm going to try this again.
