Time to read: Less than one minute
The world as you know it has turned upside down.
I hear from clients that they are worried about keeping their jobs, stressed to see their 401ks dwindle, and sad about the state of the world. All of that while also trying to stay focused and homeschooling children.
Today I have one question to ask yourself when you start to spin. (Thank you to Eckhart Tolle for this question.)
First, pause for a minute.
Then ask: Is there a problem right now?
If there is no immediate problem, let the worry and stress go.
If there is a problem, address it.
I love this question for 2 primary reasons:
- It brings you immediately into the present moment which is the place to be to find calm and peace.
- It reminds you that you have everything you need to handle whatever happens next.
As a talented and experienced worrier, I know that my worry is a waste of energy. Most of the time, the things you worry about never come true and when bad things do happen, you will be ready to handle them.
Keep this question on speed dial then email me to tell me how it helps. You can also pop into our Facebook community Corporate Rebel HQ or join The Corporate Rebel Daily, a free 30-minute check-in at 9:00 CT, M-F to help you ground and be productive in your new normal. Sign up once, and join when you can. I'll be there every weekday waiting for you.
On the weekends, I'll be in bed.
With rebel love,
Christina
