Well, this is your invitation to join us for Mindful Leader Talk, a podcast on the effects of mindfulness as a secular practice on occupational stress and organizational culture. Blessings & Welcome to The Mindful Leader Talk podcast, mindfully coping with occupational stress!. I am María Báez, an organizational leadership psychologist, consultant, trainer, coach, and full-time magician! Did you know how to uncover habits to cope with occupational stress successfully.? Stay here to find answers in today's podcast. General knowledge tells us that a habit is a settled or regular tendency, an automatic reaction to one specific event or a routine practice made in a fraction of seconds. Studies confirm that the consistency of a habit becomes a behavioral pattern. A habit may form or shape human behavior, therefore the outcome in mood, emotions, anger reactions, and relational transactions daily. Behavioral analysis psychologists have concluded that habits can be molded or replaced by positive ones when they are harmful to the individual. For instance, I wake up this morning, and I give thanks for the beautiful day that awaits me. When I open my eyes, the first thing I see is a painting on the shelf with the colorful butterfly and the writing that says "Enjoy Life." Next, I go to the bathroom. At the same time, I brush my teeth. I look in the mirror to appreciate the beautiful, spectacular image reflected there.

No, just because we want, we should label the real reason or consequences we will be paying if we do not do it now! These real reasons, three opposite-habit things, will guide us when making the plan. They will be the opposite behaviors or doings as the usual current ones. Not everything is lost. Suppose we commit to a goal daily by visualizing the prizes to enhance ourselves by pulling out from those old habits. There is no doubt we will become the master of our own mindful living in that case. I created a method called DML to save the day. DML stands for Define, Make a plan, Live in it. Define: Describe or identify the harmful habit. Please remember to add your reason. Make a plan: Write down the opposite you chose to change, the one you will commit from now on. Live in i
