I am quoting way to much Clausewitz on HN lately...but
“Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead.”
―Carl von Clausewitz
It is like the navy SEALS. You can ring the bell any time to end hell week. Don't ring that bell.
Stress like dehydration is a self inflicted wound. I have found myself coping with extreme stress using meditative practice to manage when I get to far but forgetting it in the good times. That is definitely a sin of mine.
You gotta manage your 'chi'. I mean that as a metaphor of life energy and that is 100% real. It is like your mana in an MMO.
It is morale, it is rest, it is breathing right, it is exercise, it emotional connectedness, it is appreciation, it is respect...it is letting go and moving with the wave.
Not recognizing a point of diminishing returns happens to most of us. And it is good to know your limits and recognize the signs.
Overworking yourself once intentionally ( when it will not do damage). Get a spotter(weight lifting) even. It is good to know your points of failure.
Then build and expand those limits. Learn to recognize the signs in yourself and in others.
