6.Make an exhaustive “do not want” list. In this list, you write down everything you do NOT want in
situation such as “to look foolish”, “to be unprepared”, etc.. Once you write this all down - ALL OF IT- you will clear your mind and be ready to generate productive solutions.
7.Distract yourself. Sometimes, getting your mind off
upsetting subject is enough to calm you down. Consider closing your door and playing computer games or something equally mindless (but absorbing). Shifting your focus will shift your attitude.
8.Ask, “What’s working about this situation?” This tip comes from Kurt Wright’s book, “Breaking
Rules”, and suggests that we all can manage stress better if we start looking at “what’s working” rather than “what’s wrong”. Many times, communication breakdowns or glitches can show you where better systems need to be created and placed and ultimately, will enhance
viability of your organization.
9.Take an action. Sometimes, when one piece of
business plan isn’t moving, it may mean that another part is ready to be acted upon. Rather than feeling annoyed and frustrated, transform that energy into positive movement forward, where you can.
10.Make a strong request. If you would like something to be different, start
process of making it so. Contact key people, letting them know that you’d like to work on
impasse, and make your needs and those of your business known. Sometimes, just communicating about your desires in
form of an appropriate request can move situations along.
Regular use of these tips will help you stay well balanced & happy as your business grows and flourishes. Try them and see!
