One of the attributes of top performers is the ability to manage the situation. How you handle stress determines whether you win or not, and in this week’s Coaching Tip I’ll show you how to use stress management to perform at your absolute best.
I’m going to tell you where your daily stress comes from and how you can take control of those sources. You can relieve stress by narrowing your focus to the things you can actually do, and letting go of those things that are beyond your control.
There are models that can change the way you work. As an example, I’ll explain how the can do/can’t do model works, and how much more you can get done by managing your time well. Your ability to adapt and move with changes is also important for stress release.
You’ve got to look after the basics – diet, exercise and sleep – to perform at your best. Stress management means setting boundaries, cutting out bad stress, using positive stress to get results, and knowing when to back it off if it becomes too much. It’s that simple.
