I clench up, sweat, and get paralyzed.
My mind races with thoughts about things out of my control.
This week has had its moments.
Have you ever felt that way?
Edwin Friedman Nails it with his book Failure of Nerve. He asks us, “Looks like you got yourself into this mess, what are you going to do about it?”
Anxiety – Needing to be right, certain, and pain free.
Health uncertainty, job unknowns, financial insecurity, relational stress all can become anxiety. But they don’t have to.
Be a hero.
Is your stress (Numerator) overpowering your response? Or is your response (denominator) overpowering your stress?
Being a hero is defeating your stress with a confident response.
“This will be ok”, “I can handle this”, “We / I will get through this.”
It’s NOT easy. This is the journey you are on, leader. The journey of growing into a hero who jumps into stress with a bold response of calm and confidence. You can’t control all situations, but you can become a great responder.
Follow me for more tips on how to respond better to the situations you will encounter in your life and business.
