Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here, your friendly neighborhood CEO mindset coach.
Ever feel like you're constantly running on a hamster wheel
at work, Like there are just too many emails, deadlines, meetings,
and demands swirling around you, threatening to consume your sanity. Yeah,
me too, But guess what, we don't have to let
(00:24):
stress and anxiety run the show. Today. We're diving into
some proven strategies for managing those pesky feelings in the workplace, because,
let's face it, a clear mind is a powerful weapon.
It's the key to making better decisions, staying focused, and
actually enjoying that work day. Shocking, I know, so buckle
(00:48):
up because we're about to unpack some seriously actionable tips.
First off, recognize your triggers. What situations, people, or tasks
consistently send those stress levels soaring. Is it a certain boss,
a looming project deadline, or maybe even that endless stream
of slack notifications. Once you know your triggers, you can
(01:12):
start developing coping mechanisms. Maybe it's taking a quick walk
to clear your head, practicing some deep breathing exercises, or
simply learning to say no to extra commitments when you're
already feeling stretched thin. Number two, prioritize and delegate like
a boss. You don't have to be a superhero tackling
(01:34):
every task single handedly. Identify the most important things that
need your attention and focus on those first. Delegate anything
you can to others, trusting them to do their best work.
It's not about being lazy. It's about being strategic and
efficient with your time and energy. Remember there are way
(01:58):
more hours in a day than we some times realize. Third,
take breaks seriously, I mean it. Don't underestimate the power
of stepping away from your desk for a few minutes
to recharge. A quick walk around the block, a chat
with a colleague, or even just five minutes of mindful
breathing can do wonders for your stress levels and productivity.
(02:22):
It's like hitting the reset button on your brain. Number four.
Cultivate healthy habits. This one seems obvious, but it bears repeating.
Eating well, getting enough sleep, and moving your body regularly
are absolutely essential for managing stress. Think of these as
(02:42):
non negotiables, not optional extras. Fueling your body with nutritious food,
catching those zzzs, and incorporating some exercise into your routine
will give you the energy and resilience to handle whatever
challenges come your way and find remember to practice self compassion.
We're all human and we're going to have days when
(03:05):
stress gets the better of us. That's okay. Don't beat
yourself up about it. Instead, acknowledge those feelings, be kind
to yourself, and remind yourself that you've got this. Think
back to a time when you felt completely overwhelmed at work.
Maybe it was a big presentation, a tight deadline, or
(03:27):
just a really hectic day. What did you do. Did
you take a deep breath and power through, did you
try to ignore the stress altogether, or maybe you found
yourself spiraling into a panic attack. Now imagine, instead of
those reactions, you took a moment to pause, assess your situation,
(03:47):
and implement some of these strategies. You might have taken
a quick walk, chatted with a colleague for support, or
simply focused on one task at a time. See these
aren't just abstract ideas, they're real, practical tools that can
make a huge difference in how you handle stress at work.
So remember, managing stress and anxiety isn't about eliminating it
(04:11):
all together. It's about learning to navigate those challenging moments
with grace and resilience. By recognizing your triggers, prioritizing your tasks,
taking breaks, practicing self compassion, and adopting healthy habits, you
can create a more peaceful and productive work environment for yourself.
(04:34):

will thank you for it. Now I want to hear
from you what strategies have helped you manage stress at work.
