What is the mental trick you can use to get through any stressful situation?

Let’s say you have a big interview coming up and you are practicing your answers to questions with a friend. He asks, “What direct experience do you have working in our industry?” You stress out because you’re changing careers and you don’t have any direct experience. But, instead of panicking and telling your friend the mock interview’s over and you can’t do this, S.T.O.P.

S = Stop

Stop what you are doing: Press the pause button on your thoughts and actions.

T = Take

Take a few deep breaths to center yourself and bring yourself fully into the present moment.

O = Observe

Observe what is going on with your:

-Body What physical sensations are you aware of (touch, sight, hearing, taste, smell)?

-Emotions What are you feeling right now?

-Mind What assumptions are your making about your feelings? What is the story you’re telling yourself about why you are having them?

P = Proceed

Proceed with whatever you were doing, making a conscious, intentional choice to incorporate what you just learned.

In reality I would try to use S.T.O.P. and putting it Into Action as follows:

1-Stop: I would write the question down, then pause.

2-Take: I would be very intentionally take a few deep breaths

3-Observe

a-Body: I might notice a tightening in my stomach or that my breath gets shallower.

b-Emotions: Did the question make me feel nervous? Unsure of myself?

c-Mind: What are you thinking? Maybe: “I always feel this way when I try something new, and it always seems to turn out OK…” or “Wow, I’ve always talked about changing to a new industry, and here I am actually doing it!” 

4-Proceed

As I would think about my answer, consider what I’ve just observed about myself, and what I want to do with what I just learned. I might say to myself:

I’m going to remember when I notice my stomach tightening that I’m excited to be taking steps to change my careers.

So , instead of panicking, my inner monologue says to me:

I have a lot of relevant experience I can bring from my previous work, so I’ll be genuinely positive and focus on my excitement and my transferable skills when this question comes up.

Good Luck to me!

How To Deal With A Stressful Situation?

When you are faced with a stressful situation whether in your business or in your personal life it is very easy to worry, be fearful, get stressed and panic. Some stress is good for you but too much can result in you being unable to think straight, inaction and poor performance.

We have therefore put together some ideas and tips to help you when you are faced with a stressful situation:

Be well prepared. In your business it is a good idea to have a contingency plan for unexpected events (e.g. not being able to use your offices, a computer crash etc.), to have procedures for different eventualities (e.g. a key member of staff is absent from work) and to ensure your staff are well trained to handle stressful situations. In your personal life you can also think about how you will handle stressful and difficult situations and be prepared for such events.

Look after yourself. If you are in good mental and physical shape you will be more able to handle a stressful situation, so it is important to look after yourself on an on going basis, including achieving a good work/life balance, building in relaxation, having fun, eating healthily, exercising and not getting yourself too tired.

Calm yourself down. When you first hear about a stressful event or situation it is easy to panic and get very stressed. Calm yourself down by slowing down your breathing and thinking about how you have overcome similar situations in the past. It may help to move into a different space (e.g. outside the office, away from other people etc.) so you can think things through.

Think positively. When you think positively you will feel in control and confident. Visualise a positive outcome to the stressful situation and focus on past successes and hurdles that you have overcome.

Put things in perspective. When faced with a stressful situation other people may panic and you may be given inaccurate information or the severity of the situation may be exaggerated. Therefore, find out as much information as possible about the situation so you can understand what is actually happening. Also put the situation into context against your business or your life as a whole.

Trust your knowledge, experience and intuition. When dealing with a stressful situation you can panic and forget to utilise all the knowledge and experience you already have. Remind yourself of the resources you have and trust your knowledge, experience and intuition to help you handle the stressful situation.

Make a plan. It is easy to rush straight into taking action but it is critical to first of all make a plan of what you need to do. This will not only help you to ensure that you have covered all angles but will also give you something to refer to as you go along.

Be decisive. People can get very indecisive when faced with these types of situations, which will be very unhelpful. It is therefore critical to be decisive and take decisions in a considered but timely fashion.

Take action. Taking action in itself will calm you and other people down. So once you have your plan, start to take action to resolve the situation.

Write things down. When things are stressful it is inadvisable to have lots of information in people's heads. Write down the plan and ask everyone to write down what they have done. This will help to manage the situation, help people feel in control and will also help after the event to understand what was done.

Ask for help. Faced with a stressful situation you may try to handle it on your own, however, you may want to get some help or someone to talk to. This will provide not only practical assistance but also reassurance.

We hope that the above ideas and tips will help you to handle stressful situations better in the future. Author: Liz Makin

Two different coping strategies

Problem-focused strategy

This strategy relies on using active ways to directly tackle the situation that caused the stress: you must concentrate on the problem. Here are some examples:

  1. Analyze the situation e.g. Pay attention, avoid taking on more responsibility than you can manage.
  2. Work harder e.g. Stay up all night to study for an exam
  3. Apply what you have already learned to your daily life. e.g. You lose your job for the second time - you now know the steps to apply for a new job
  4. Talk to a person that has a direct impact on the situation e.g. Talk directly to your boss to ask for an extension to the project that is due in one week.

Emotion-focused strategy

Emotion-focused coping strategies are used to handle feelings of distress, rather than the actual problem situation. You focus on your emotions:

  1. Brood e.g. you accept new tasks instead of saying “no”, but you keep complaining and saying it is unfair.
  2. Imagine/Magic thinking e.g. You dream about a better financial situation.
  3. Avoid/Deny e.g. You avoid everything that is related to this situation or you take drugs and/or alcohol to escape from this situation.
  4. Blame e.g. You blame yourself or others for the situation.
  5. Social support e.g. You talk to your best friend about your concerns.

In a long-term perspective, are these strategies harmful?

Imagine that you are having a bad day at work and that you do not feel like seeing your boss. You can avoid him for many hours or even a day, but if you avoid him everyday this strategy will become unsuccessful and may even cause extra stress. This is why it is important to develop different strategies in order to adapt to different situations.

Efficient coping strategies

Coping strategies are different depending on the situation and the person; here are some good coping strategies.

 

REMEMBER...

 

Coping is a very complex process, that varies according to many variables such as the situation, the evaluation of the situation, and the resources available.

  1. Be positive! Look at each obstacle you encounter as a learning experience e.g. you may not have done well on your mid-term exam, but that has motivated you to study harder and ace your final exam.
  2. Make the choice not to over-react to stressors and deal with them one at a time e.g. take a few deep breaths and carry on.
  3. Take an objective view of your stressor e.g. is preparing dinner for 12 people really that horrible?
  4. Communicate! Don’t ruminate or bottle up your emotions, as this will lead to an explosion later on.
  5. Accept yourself (and others). No one is perfect and there is always room for mistakes.
  6. Make connections with people  Social support is key!
  7. Deal effectively with mistakes i.e. Learn from your mistakes and apply them to future decision making.
  8. Deal effectively with successes also! This will build on your competence.
  9. Develop self-discipline and control e.g. train yourself to study harder in preparation for your final exam, or train yourself to work out four times a week to lose those pounds you gained since last Thanksgiving dinner!
  10. Maintenance! Practice, practice, practice for a long life of resilient living!

Now that you know how to recognize your stress and you know the different coping strategies, you just need to find the coping strategies  that work best for you and apply them to your daily life.
