HOW I COPE WITH RISING PANIC
You’re not making any money, no-one is booking any calls, your offers are gathering dust on the self.
Panic starts to set in.
?Big, ugly, hairy panic?
[if, like me, you are scared of spiders – they are exactly what panic looks like!!!]
I know the score – I’ve been there too, many times in fact!
Because I’ve been in business for 7 years, and you don’t get this far without your fair share of fear, confusion, overwhelm and big, hairy panic ?
Over the years I’ve had to learn how to cope with this symptoms of being a business owner, and I put these coping mechanisms inside my sturdy Mindset Toolkit that I can use to help me regain my calm, focussed, confidence.
Here are three of my Top Mindset Tools for coping with rising business-related panic:
REVIEW THE FACTS
?I think about my career, my experience, and all the successful outcomes I’ve achieved for my clients.
?I think about times when my business was flying, and tap into how I was feeling.
?I read my testimonials that prove that I’m more than capable of delivering value.
HAVE FAITH
⛅️It’s times like these I really need to have faith in myself and my abilities.
⛅️I tell myself YES I CAN, I’ve got this, I can do this, This is easy for me.
⛅️I know that, underneath the panic, I believe in myself – I’ve got this far haven’t I – I can definitely do this!
TAKE A BREAK
?When the familiar symptoms of overwhelm and panic set in I take myself away from my desk.
?I go for a walk, read a good book, have a bath, call a friend…I essentially distract my brain from the panic.
?Fresh air is a huge healer.
?Top Tip: If you are properly in the panic-zone – have a cool shower.
GAIN PERSPECTIVE
☀️I deploy the logic side of my brain – I make lists and prioritise – things often don’t look as bad as they do in your head!
☀️I think about really bad times in my past and think to myself ‘Hey, this isn’t so bad, I got through that and will get through this too.’
☀️I stroke my cat and think about how lovely and simple his little life is – he eats, sleeps, gets cuddles, how lovely. This somehow calms me right down.
I hope this helps you out if you are feeling ? today.
