Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

You ain't gotta make your mind up
You ain't gotta make your mind up right now

You ain't gotta make your mind up
You ain't gotta make your mind up right now
Calm down, don't rush, no pressure

Story: Style, Structure, Substance, and the Principles of Screenwriting
Leaders in all organizations must take responsibility for recognizing when someone is feeling overwhelmed to the point of exhaustion or paralysis, and to understand that this is only a response, and not a failing or weakness. We need to encourage a culture that views managing pressure as being as important as servicing a car -- vital to keep it operating smoothly and reliably.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY
letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald, April 20, 1926
Handle pressure quickly and effectively. The longer you let it go on, the more damage it will do internally and externally. If you find that you are constantly under pressure at work, or in life, stop for a moment and consider that you have a choice to accept pressure or not. You see, effective work/life balance comes from an easy well-coordinated approach to it. All too often you can slip into the habit of accepting excess pressure as a way of life, so rather than waiting until you feel like a time bomb ready to explode, take steps today to lighten the load.
MICHAEL ATMA
Stress Free for Life
Individuals who falter less under pressure than others have a different road map for handling pressure.... Your natural tools are your thoughts, physiological responses, body movements, voice, and senses. They determine how you handle pressure, regardless of your level of expertise, abilities, or good intentions. People who are less susceptible to pressure's negative effects use these tools much more effectively than those who are overwhelmed by pressure. In a pressure moment, they use them to counteract pressure's negative effects.
