1. Workplace Overload – Handling Too Many Deadlines

Say “no” to unnecessary meetings or non-urgent tasks.

Take short breaks every 90 minutes to reset your mind.

Notice if certain conversations or behaviors trigger frustration.
Identify what emotions come up.

3. Leadership Pressure – Managing a Team with High Expectations
A – Awareness:
Recognize signs of burnout—feeling drained, frustrated, or mentally exhausted.
B – Balance:
Delegate tasks to trusted team members instead of handling everything alone.
C – Control:
Focus on solutions, not just problems.
Support your team while keeping expectations realistic.
4. Financial Stress – Worrying About Job Security or Company Finances
A – Awareness:
Pay attention to what’s causing financial stress.
Is it job stability, industry changes, or company downsizing?
B – Balance:
Focus on what you can control—upskill, network, and stay proactive about career growth.
C – Control:
Create a plan.
Build an emergency fund, explore career development opportunities, and seek advice if needed.
5. Performance Anxiety – Stressing Over High-Stakes Projects

Identify the root of your anxiety.
Is it fear of failure, lack of preparation, or unrealistic expectations?
B – Balance:
Break big projects into smaller, manageable tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
C – Control:
Focus on progress, not perfection.
Trust your expertise and stay adaptable if challenges arise.
6. Public Speaking Anxiety – Managing Nervousness Before Presentations
A – Awareness:
Recognize when fear kicks in—racing heart, shaky hands, or overthinking every word.
B – Balance:
Reframe the situation.
Instead of thinking about failure, focus on delivering value to your audience.
C – Control:
Use grounding techniques—slow breathing, positive visualization, and deliberate pauses to stay calm and in control.

Stress will always exist, but how you handle it defines your experience.
Ignoring it makes it worse, but awareness gives you control.
Small actions—better sleep, clear priorities, and mindful breathing—change everything.
The mind and body work best when they are given time to reset.
When stress is managed well, challenges become easier to handle.
The right systems make it easier to stay steady, even when everything around you is moving fast.
Stress is inevitable, but your response is a choice.
Until next time and with lots of love,
Justin
