Unpacking Worry: From Stress to Success

Thursday Jun 15, 2023
On today's episode Graham and I will be talking about Unpacking Worry: From Stress to Success.
Worrying is a natural response to uncertain circumstances, but it can often prevent you from living your life fully and performing at your peak.
When you let worry dominate your thoughts, it can affect your decision-making abilities, your relationships, and even your health.
Worry impacts us all regardless of roles, professions or stages in life. It can paralyze you in a whirlwind of anxiety that can be debilitating.
Worry operates quietly, often going unnoticed until it's entrenched into your daily thoughts and actions.
Before you know it, it's steering your life's course.
But by learning how to let it go and understanding how it subtly infiltrates your thinking, you can create the foundation for positive change.
Graham and I will share thoughtful insights and also how to shift your mindset and let go of worry.

Welcome to episode 24 of, Press Pause: Quick Tips for Better Balance and a Better Life, a special Tuesday series of the Intentional Leadership Podcast.
Do you often find yourself engaging in negative self-talk? Do you criticize yourself for the smallest mistakes or flaws?
It's time to put a stop to this harmful habit and start practicing self-love and self-compassion. Negative self-talk can significantly impact your mental health and self-esteem.

Here are 4 tips to break free from negative self-talk:
1.First, become aware of it.
2.Pay attention to the negative thoughts that arise throughout the day and challenge them.
3.Instead of dwelling on your shortcomings, focus on your strengths and accomplishments.
4.Spend time with people who uplift and encourage you.
Remind yourself of your worth and that you are deserving of love and respect, just like everyone else.
Self-love and self-compassion are powerful tools for improving your mental health and overall well-being.

Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Welcome to episode 23 of, Press Pause: Quick Tips for Better Balance and a Better Life, a special Tuesday series of the Intentional Leadership Podcast.
A growth mindset is the belief that you can learn and develop your skills and abilities through hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
With a growth mindset:
- You can overcome obstacles and setbacks with resilience and determination
- You develop a sense of confidence in your ability to succeed.
- You recognize setbacks can be your biggest teachers.
Having a growth mindset isn't about being perfect or always succeeding - it's about recognizing that failure and setbacks are a natural part of the learning process, and using them as opportunities to learn and grow.
Action: Remember, you can choose your mindset. Keep stepping forward in faith, and believe in your ability to succeed with a growth mindset!
