1. Get control of your future. Most of us avoid planning for the future, whether it’s just a week ahead or 20 years in advance. For some reason, admitting that we need to plan ahead can be stressful and anxiety provoking―it’s almost as if we think that if we have to plan, we’re not in control of our lives.
2. Learn to say “no” gracefully. This is really a toughie as saying “no” tends to make you feel guilty (it’s almost as if you’ll cause disappointment or even personal harm if you don’t say “yes”),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but if you learn to say “no” gracefully, then you won’t feel guilty, and less guilt means less stress. Next time, try this: “Sorry, but I had better decline your offer.” “I really won’t have the time to dedicate the effort you need to make your (event) a success.”
3. Set aside time every day to think about and solve your problems. It may only be 30 minutes at the end of the day, but quiet thinking is essential to problem solving and to your ability to cope with stress. Quiet surroundings allow you to get in touch with your higher executive brain functions, consider your life, and analyze problems. Find a sanctuary to ponder and explore your “self.” Each of us needs a place where we feel safe and secure enough to be by ourselves and think through all the things in life that are really important to us. You’ll be surprised how easily solutions pop into your head when you’re able to dedicate all your mental abilities to the task.
5. Learn to accept mistakes. Some of us live in fear of making a mistake, whether big or little. It’s not just the fear of failure that ties up our brainpower and concentration abilities; it’s also knowing that we will mentally punish ourselves if we do make a mistake. Once you learn that it’s okay to make little mistakes, you’ll learn to deal with big mistakes without beating yourself to death. After all, if you never fall down while learning to walk, you’ll never learn how to pick yourself up. We all learn from our mistakes and would fail to mature as adul
It’s really hard to focus on reaching your greatest potential in life when you’re constantly stressed from putting out little fires. Over the past 30 years we’ve all become hyper-focused on success at any cost, which greatly increases our stress levels. Fortunately, learning a few life skills management tools can significantly reduce your stress and make you much more likely to reach satisfaction and success in life.
When we fail to plan, we essentially plan to fail. Then, when things start to fall apart in our lives, we feel overwhelmed, threatened, get anxious, and struggle to do things to decrease our mounting anxiety and stress. Unfortunately, we’re often not mentally and emotionally prepared to handle both the everyday facets of living and all the unexpected, unprepared, unplanned things that fall apart. When we panic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], our adrenaline systems go into full throttle and cause even more stress and anxiety.
A wise man once said, “If you don’t know where you’re headed, then it really doesn’t matter how you get there!” Just having a road map by which to chart your course will decrease your daily stress tremendously.
In today’s fast-paced society, more than just professionals and those of us with management jobs fall victim to the pain and suffering of life’s stresses. Today’s never-ending rat race can cause us to develop such fast-moving, impulsive, stress-filled lives that we often fail to achieve the success that would normally be ours under different circumstances.
4. Control technological demands on your life, and don’t let technology dictate your time schedule. Do you feel compelled to answer e-mail as soon as possible? You’re not alone―most of us get anxious or feel guilty if we don’t answer those e-mails right away. You must be the master of any technology,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or you become its slave. Would you visit the post office ten times a day to get your mail? No? So, what is the worst that could happen if you don’t check your e-mail five times tomorrow?
