Ep. 65: How to manage stress effectively as a corporate executive

What Stress? :X Stress is caused by overthinking and sitting on too much fear, anger, sadness or hurt.  When we don’t allow these to be expressed, we end up feeling stressed out and turn to our devices (literally) to numb out, avoid vs. dealing in and addressing what’s underneath the stress and our relationship to those emotions.  In Ep 65, we will learn more about - What causes stress - How to mitigate stress and what's really the root cause of it - What our physical body has to do with - or help - with stress. - Incorporating a few daily pauses or integrating your doing with your being as I like to say, here's a few to try: Pause: Intentionally shift your behavior and do something else. This can be anything that serves you in the moment - e.g. leave the room, move your body, journal, connecting with someone and sharing. Do some breathing exercises. Take 10 breaths, counting to 4 on the inhale though the nose, and 7 on the exhale slower and through the mouth. Write it out. ...Journaling can be a power tool when it comes to processing stress ....and so much more! Even if you try one of these "experiments" you are well on your way to shifting out of this pattern of stress, and into feeling more calm, relaxed, confident and ready for whatever comes next.  Trust me - I burned out of Google, and I had no clue how to de-stress at that time, and yet now I teach others how to do exactly that..well before burnout! Even if that seems impossible now, know that it is possible using these techniques and what I can support you with using my EQ Mastery method that will help you get to your next level of leading - whether it's leading yourself through stressful times, or others and coming out the other side. If you're ready for support to de-stress, this is where I come in.  Message me "de-stress" and I"ll share some tools for you to try - there is so much support here for you - from classes to coaching to tools - you decide what's best!
