THE NEW NORMAL (First in a Series)

 

Covid-19 is the elephant in the room. The underlying zeitgeist and angst that colors everything we do…or don’t do. We’re all infected with it to some degree: whether you have the virus, know someone or just worry about it. In the coming days and weeks, I’ll be posting a daily blog with my friend and colleague, Steve Lance. We’ll be offering tips and strategies that can “lower your emotional thermostat” and manage remote work more effectively. Steve is a best-selling author and Creative Director whose firm does Corporate Process Interventions. Our hope is these daily notes give you tools that can turn your elephant into, say, a zebra. (Yes, it will still be the exotic animal in the room, but it might be more manageable.) If you have helpful tips you’re using, please comment and we’ll include them in subsequent blogs. In the meantime, stay safe. Stay smart. Stay apart. Tina (and Steve)

The New Normal (TNN) #2:Managing Your Stress Levels

(Stay Safe. Stay Smart. Stay Apart.) What can you do with today’s added stress? Tina defines “stress” as the amount of control we think we have over a situation (which, right away, puts the idea of “stress” into a scalable, manageable perspective). Take a deep breath and exhale fully before you read on. Really. We’ll wait. Okay, did you notice a change in your thoughts, feelings or body? That old cliché, “take a deep breath and count to ten before you respond” still works. Whenever you notice your mind drifting over to the aspects of the pandemic you don’t have any control over, take a deep breath and count to ten. What do you do to get your stress level under control?

REMEMBER: Stay Safe. Stay Smart. Stay Apart.
