We’re all under pressure with change, complexity and volatility, there’s no escaping it! That pressure can help us stretch, develop and grow but when we’re stressed or anxious, that’s not helping us be our best.
The pressure is external and we all have it at times, stress and anxiety on the other hand are internal. We create our own stress and anxiety.
What’s the difference between thriving under pressure or losing sleep with worry? Resilience! There’s a recipe for resilience.
What if I don’t know? What if I look foolish? What if I fail? Have you noticed when we create anxiety we ask ourselves ‘what if questions?’ But not the happy ‘what if this is awesome!’ type. The negative ‘what if I fail?’ type. How does that help us? The risk is we dig a big hole of negative ‘what if’s’ and get trapped in there. See the Resilience Mindset Hack to avoid the trap!
Stress and Anxiety Hack #2
When we create stress and anxiety, we dwell on a small possibility and magnify it to a possibility. Then we forget the movie in our mind is just our imagination, it’s NOT real! And then we don’t use what’s truly in our power, the power to make a plan and move forward taking action. Taking action trumps anxiety.
See Mind-Hack #2 for overcoming stress and building resilience.
