How does stress show up? Why is it a problem? Ineffective leadership Overwhelm/overloaded Can’t make decisions confusion Leaders do the right
things (walk, foods, water, fitness….) Sleep Body
#1 – TAKE CARE OF SELF:
SLEEP: Tylenol, melatonin, (sleep tracker)
PHYSICAL: get outside
DIET: off caffeine (coke, coffee), off sugar
EMOTIONAL: understand what’s contributing
RECHARGE: give yourself time to do nothing and recharge
Build margin: say no to something…
Book Suggestions: · MARGIN by Richard Swenson · Procrastinating on Purpose by Rory Vaden
#2 – Have compassion for others vs increasing demands
Realize everyone is under stress (same “environmental” stressors happening for others too) Encourage them to do the same self-care you are doing Permission Give margin at the end of the week – send them home and let them go See humans: team, vendors, family Grace… understanding… ·
#3 – how to recalibrate vs get sucked into a reaction
Don’t get sucked into a reaction – it will not solve itself Tools to get out of reaction Time off (weekend) Spend time planning Make a checklist and prioritize Block time for priorities Reset habits (AM: prayer, meditation, etc.) (fitness, healthy foods, etc.) Increase certainty to focus on what I can do Boundaries – options (I can’t do this…)(I would love to help…I am doing XYZ… I head you need XYZ… which is best?)
