How can reducing responsibility, and utilising delegation impact stress?

It can reduce it greatly as long as you have those around you that can be trusted to perform those tasks for which you are delegating.

Interestingly, reducing responsibility and delegating tasks may seem like it will reduce stress. In my experience, the impact it will have on stress levels depends on who is taking up some of the responsibility and who is on the other end of the delegation of these responsibilities. If the people who will share the responsibility are capable and trustworthy, these actions can help reduce stress. If on the other hand, the delegation of responsibility starts a viscous cycle of having to double check and ultimately correct each step, it can cause more stress. I have had both results. It takes a while to figure out when you can delegate and when you cannot.

Stress is most commonly caused by feeling under pressure to deliver or achieve more than you feel capable of doing. Your brain is trying to figure out how to achieve 150% of what you're currently capable of . Delegation and reducing responsibility both help to bring that figure down to a level you know you can handle and the stress of trying to achieve it drops too

Reducing responsibility and delegating reduces stress by freeing yourself of the pressure to have to do everything on your own. You simply have to trust that things will still work out fine. Even if you don't have complete control over them.

10 fold. It may require you learning to trust others more, but the reduction on your stress level is well worth it.
