# 55 5 Ways to Gain Perspective This Fall Harvest Season Fall harvest is extremely stressful. Whether you are the one operating the combine, cooking meals or anything in between there are hills and valleys to climb. We also tend to get lost in the weeds because there is no much to the day-to-day grind. In this weeks’ episode, we talk about how to gain perspective and simultaneously remember that “this is what it’s all about”, and it will drag on and fly by all at the same time. Harvest is like a time warp, but here’s how to zoom out and keep perspective. Gaining perspective helps us to re-frame and lower our stress level because it helps us to separate the emotion from the facts. We get stressed when we feel like we cannot meet the demands based on the resources we have. Those resources can be time, money, manpower, knowledge, weather condition, energy, etc.  When we can take a step back and look at the task at hand and use the following ways to gain perspective then we can lower the stress hormones in our body. 5 Ways to keep perspective this fall harvest season Divide short term from long term stress Keep a countdown Remember this is what it’s all about-mantra Journal-write a letter to yourself from the future Connect with others off of the farm -social media, rain days, phone calls, going up to another truck when you are waiting in line at the elevator, etc.   Download the Farm Stress Bundle here: https://www.throwingwrenchesmendingfences.com/   If you enjoyed this episode, take a screenshot, post to Facebook or Instagram and tag me!
