How to control your anxiety?
Fear of losing everything has spurred me on and held me back
Anxiety has had an enormous part to play in my professional life.
The fear of losing everything has spurred me on and held me back I would say. It just depends how high or low the dial is about once I wake up.
My advice to those who may suffer the same; attempt to control what you will be able to and let go of what you can not.
This is a truly big one for people that regularly experience anxiety. While you will feel answerable for everything when it involves business, actually taking over everything is just unsustainable.
Make it a practice to regularly set your priorities, and also live by them. Consider what is essential, what only you can do and what you can personally control, while deciding whether to spend some time and attention on something.
Also, while you may strive for perfection, it is okay if you do not attain it. The quest for perfection is never successful and becoming preoccupied together with your perception of perfection is usually destructive, so aspire to form peace with “ nearly perfect.”
Still, also I would suggest that you build and nurture connections with your peers, especially other small business possessors If you run a business.
You may also find a sense of purpose in sharing your gests and expertise. When you do, you are not only less likely to feel isolated, but you will also have an outlet to bounce around ideas, ask questions and share your successes.
Take time to recognise what is going well. Whether it is great team members, a strong culture or efficient processes, chances are that despite any current issues, many positive things are going on in your business right now.
Identify those things and even write them down. Not only will this assist you to see a clearer, fuller picture of your current business reality, but by recognising the good that is occurring, you will also be ready to practice appreciation, which reduces anxiety, I have found.
Something else I might recommend is to delegate and outsource tasks. Take a while to think about all that you simply do. Also, identify and write down which of those responsibilities you do not enjoy doing or that you think someone else could do better.
Next, add anything that you simply constantly think you ought to be doing but never have the time. Now consider which of these tasks and responsibilities you could delegate to your employees or colleagues. However, also consider whether you can outsource, If there is no- one on your team with the bandwidth or ability to take something on.
Today, nearly any business task can be outsourced, and numerous small business owners are turning to virtual assistants, we have.
