How to Master Stress and Turn it Into a Powerful Tool for Success with Dr. Amir Rashidian
Stress. It’s something we all face, but most of us see it as a negative force in our lives. In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, we’re flipping the script on stress with Dr. Amir Rashidian, a chiropractor, speaker, and author of the Amazon bestseller Cracking the Stress Secret: How to Turn Pressure into Power. Dr. Rashidian shares how stress, when properly managed, can fuel success, boost productivity, and improve health.
What is Stress?
According to Dr. Rashidian, stress is a neutral force, like gravity or fire. It can either push you forward or hold you back—it all depends on how you handle it. Stress becomes harmful only when your ability to cope with it is limited.
How Stress Can Be Good for You
Dr. Rashidian explains that your success in life is determined by how much stress you can handle. The more stress you can manage, the more successful you can become. Stress is present in every aspect of life—from starting a business to raising a family—and those who thrive are the ones who learn to manage it effectively.
Tips for Managing Stress

- Address All Dimensions – Stress affects your physical, mental, and emotional health. To handle stress, you need to work on all three.
- Focus on Health – A healthy body is better equipped to manage stress. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are essential for stress management.
- Change Your Mindset – Instead of seeing stress as harmful, view it as a challenge that helps you grow.
