Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, career calm Crue, it's your girl, Riley Hart
here back again to help you navigate the wild world
of high achievement without losing your mind. Of course, because
let's face it, being a go getter often comes with
a hefty dose of stress and anxiety. Ever, feel like
that pressure cooker is about to explode. You know that

(00:20):
feeling when deadlines are looming, emails are piling up, and
your to do list seems longer than the Great Wall
of China. Yeah, we've all been there. But guess what
this Isn't just another podcast where I tell you to
take a deep breath, because sometimes those six breaths don't
even get us through the inbox. Today, we're diving into

(00:41):
some serious stress management strategies that actually work for high
achievers like us. First things first, let's acknowledge the elephant
in the room. Our brains are wired to react to stress.
It's a natural response. Fight or flight kicks in and
suddenly your cortisol levels are skyrocketing. But here's it's the catch.
Chronic stress isn't just bad for your mental health. It

(01:04):
can wreak havoc on your physical well being too, messing
with your sleep digestion, even your immune system. So how
do we combat this beast. Let's break down five key
takeaways to tame that workplace anxiety. One. Become a boundary boss.
This is non negotiable. You can't pour from an empty
cup and always on isn't sustainable. Set clear boundaries between

(01:28):
your work life and personal time. It sounds simple, but
it's incredibly powerful. Think of it like this. You wouldn't
let a friend barge into your home at all hours.
Would you treat your work life with the same respect.
To master the art of saying no. This one's tough,
I know, but learning to say no gracefully is crucial

(01:49):
for managing stress. It doesn't mean you're being selfish. It
means you're prioritizing your well being and workload. Remember, saying
yes to everything off and leads to burnout, while saying
no sometimes opens up space for something truly valuable. Three.
Embrace the power of breaks. Those mini breaks throughout the

(02:10):
day can be game changers. Step away from your desk,
stretch your legs, go for a quick walk, or just
close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. It's
not about being lazy, It's about recharging your batteries so
you can come back with renewed focus and energy. Think
of it like hitting the refresh button on your computer.
Sometimes a little downtime is exactly what you need to

(02:32):
function at peak performance. Four. Find your stress busting ritual
what truly relaxes you. It could be anything from yoga
and meditation, to listening to music, reading, or even just
having a good laugh with friends. Whatever it is, make
time for it. Incorporating these stress busting activities into your
routine can significantly reduce anxiety levels and improve your overall

(02:56):
well being. Five. Seek support when you need it. Remember
you're not alone in this journey. Talking to a trusted friend,
family member, therapist, or mentor can be incredibly helpful. Don't
underestimate the power of human connection. Sometimes just sharing your
struggles can make a world of difference. Think about that

(03:16):
last meeting you had where things got heated. You probably
felt your heart racing, your palms, sweating, maybe even a
little light headed. Right, that's stress taking over. But imagine
if instead of reacting defensively, you took a moment to
center yourself, take a few deep breaths, and approach the
situation with a calmer mindset. The outcome might have been

(03:38):
completely different. The key takeaway here is that managing stress
isn't about eliminating it altogether, because, let's be real, life
throws curveballs at us constantly. It's about developing healthy coping
mechanisms so you can navigate those challenges with grace and resilience.
You are capable of handling anything life throws your way.
But remember, take taking care of yourself is not an indulgence.

(04:02):
It's essential for achieving true success, both personally and professionally.
So career com crue. What's one thing you're going to
implement from today's episode? Think about those boundaries, master the
art of no, and find your stress busting ritual. Remember
share this episode with a friend who needs some career

(04:22):
calm in their life, because helping each other thrive is
what it's all about. Until next time, keep striving, keep shining,
and never underestimate the power of taking care of yourself.
