How to deal with stress when circumstances in our lives or others’ lives are being reshaped? Modifications in our lives can impact and affect us all differently. Whether it takes place in our
individual life or in the world we live in we all react, think and feel differently. Some transformations that occur within the world we live results in some of us feeling joy, excitement and optimism. However, the same transformation may leave others feeling despair, stress and gloom.

You are in control of how you choose to react, think and feel
about changes that are not pleasing to you. The new government has caused many to feel despair and stress amongst many other emotions. In spite of what some are feeling, they have taken action in protesting in hopes of stopping injustices and creating
change for the better. This is an inspiration to all who are not
satisfied with how the new administration is trying to alter
America into something it should not be.

Tips

If you are not happy with the current situation and are feeling
stressed here are a few suggestions that may help you in alleviating your tension:

Remain POSITIVE in knowing the situation is not hopeless. In uncertain times or circumstances it is important to keep a positive outlook. Ask yourself what part can I play in helping to make the situation better. Keep your thoughts upbeat. Because in you being hopeful will create promising feelings; such as, optimism. As a result, your actions and attitude will be more concrete in you making the situation better instead of worse.

Get INVOLVED utilizing your passion and enthusiasm to join with others to jumpstart creating change that has a victorious outcome. Unity, passion and action can make things happen. Stay optimistic and decide how you can be helpful in making life better for you and someone else. You may not get the results you want the first time. However, let it be a motivator for you not to give up and keep moving forward for what you believe in.

Practice SELF-CARE to ensure you are nurturing your physical, emotional and mental needs. It is important to slow down, relax and re-energize so that you get relief from your burden and have the strength to keep moving forward in your journey. Find time to spend on taking care of you by doing enjoyable activities that are relaxing. Or simply do nothing at all, whichever will be most beneficial to you in restoring your physical, emotional and mental well-being.

PRAYER. If you are spiritual and pray, then you know how powerful prayer can be in transforming your life and the world we live in. You can practice praying according to your spiritual beliefs. You can pray about the fortunate changes you desire for your family, others and the world to become a reality. Remaining faithful in prayer can be life changing.

“Fervent prayers produce phenomenal results.”
~Woodrow Kroll

How are you coping with stress as our country changes?

As an executive or leader striving to unlock your full potential, self-discipline is not just a personal ambition, it is imperative to business. Elevating your leadership skills requires a clear sense of purpose, mental resilience, and the ability to inspire others. These evidence-based strategies can guide you toward becoming the best version of yourself, both in your professional and personal life.

Here are a few evidence-based strategies that may help:

Define Your Purpose as a Leader

Leadership with purpose drives long-term success. Research shows that leaders with a clear sense of purpose are more effective, resilient, and capable of inspiring their teams (Hill & Turiano, 2014).

Strategy: Clarify your leadership mission. Do you aim to be an innovator, mentor, or transformational leader? Write down your purpose and align it with your vision, because goal-setting enhances performance (Matthews, 2015).

Visualize Your Leadership Legacy

High-performing leaders use visualization to set ambitious goals and shape the future. Research in cognitive psychology demonstrates that visualizing successful outcomes increases your chances of attaining your goals (Peters et al., 2010).

Strategy: Envision the leader you aspire to be. What does success look like in five years? What kind of organizational culture do you want to create? Use visualization techniques to refine your strategic focus and inspire forward-thinking leadership.

Embrace Risk and Learn from Failure

The most successful leaders view risk and failure as learning opportunities. According to Carol Dweck’s research about the growth mindset, leaders who embrace challenges and learn from setbacks are more likely to innovate and lead high-performing teams (Dweck, 2006).

Strategy: Lead with a mindset that welcomes risk. Encourage your team to experiment and fail fast, knowing that each failure is a step toward progress and innovation.

Learn to Manage Your Inner Dialogue

Negative self-talk can hinder leadership effectiveness by creating self-doubt and stress. Cognitive restructuring, a tool from cognitive behavioral therapy, helps leaders reframe negative thoughts into productive ones (Beck, 2011).

Strategy: Increase your self-awareness to be able to immediately acknowledge and reframe negative thinking. Replace it with affirmations that reinforce your competence and capacity to lead through uncertainty. Research suggests this can reduce stress and enhance leadership presence (Hofmann et al., 2012).

Lead with Action, Not Just Vision

Great leaders do not just talk about change, they follow through and execute. Research on implementation intentions shows that clear, actionable plans increase the likelihood of achieving objectives (Gollwitzer, 1999).

Strategy: Commit to taking action and move from strategy to execution. Break down big initiatives into measurable, tactical steps, and hold yourself accountable. Leading by example builds trust and engagement within your team. Using SMART goals is a great way to stay on track and focused for achieving your goals.

Free Yourself from External Expectations

Effective leadership requires autonomy and alignment with your professional and personal values. According to self-determination theory, leaders who are guided by intrinsic motivation rather than external pressures perform better and foster a more engaged workforce (Ryan & Deci, 2000).

Strategy: Prioritize what matters to you, your team, and your organization. Focus on creating long-term value, rather than chasing short-term gains or needing to be validated by external sources. Being an authentic leader fosters loyalty and higher employee morale.

Create High-Impact Habits

Success is built on small, consistent actions and behaviors that compound over time. Research on habit formation shows that establishing positive routines can drive leadership effectiveness and organizational success (Lally et al., 2010).

Strategy: Start with one high impactful habit. Whether it is dedicating time for strategic thinking or prioritizing your well-being, consistent habits elevate your leadership and creates a model for others to follow.

Practice Self-Compassion in Challenging Times

Leaders who practice self-compassion show greater emotional resilience and are better equipped to lead during crises. Research indicates that self-compassion helps prevent burnout and enhances problem-solving (Neff, 2003).

Strategy: When faced with setbacks, treat yourself with the same compassion you would offer a colleague. Practicing this mindset helps you to recover quicker. Also, it helps to keep you grounded, which improves your ability to make sound decisions under pressure.

Lead by Giving Back

Research consistently shows that generous leaders, those who invest in their teams and communities experience higher levels of fulfillment and success (Aknin et al., 2012).

Strategy: Integrate giving back into your leadership style. Whether through mentorship, corporate social responsibility initiatives, or investing in team development. Your unselfish behavior will cultivate loyalty and drive a deeper sense of purpose in your organization.

In summary, leaders can enhance their performance and create a ripple effect that drives innovation, resilience, and long-term success within their organizations, by practicing these strategies.
