See, Share, Frame, and Use Pressure

from The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws of Business and Life by Steven Bartlett

How to Apply This

  1. Acknowledge pressure consciously. Name the stressors and pressures on you—'I am under pressure because...'—to activate your rational brain over your reactive one.

  2. Connect and share with others. Talk about your challenges with a trusted friend, mentor, or team. Sharing reduces the harmful impact and builds resilience.

  3. Reframe pressure as a sign of meaning and privilege. Remind yourself that feeling pressure signals caring, growth, choice, and significance—not simply threat.

  4. Channel stress for action. Notice your energy and direct it—use the adrenaline for focus, learning, or performance.
