Overwhelmed at work? Focus on these 4 things you can actually control:
We Are In The Midst Of A Crisis Of Overload
Ironically, one of the most significant effects of overload is that it disables us just when we need all of our faculties to juggle so many competing priorities. Overload is detected as a threat by the primal system of the brain. This feeling of threat makes us more defensive, reactive, and unable to see a clear path forward. We are officially stuck in a vicious cycle.
So what can we do to escape? Focus on the four things you can actually control: your personal well-being, your energy and attention, your beliefs and assumptions, and your own behavior.The mind body connection is well-established even though we have a tendency to operate as if our brain is simply a device we power on early in the morning, and expect to run at a continual pace until we turn it off at the end of the day. In fact, your brain is an organ just like any other.
. If you operated from the belief that “My time is my most valuable resource,” what might you stop doing?The first step in shifting your behavior, is shifting your beliefs. Once you start to recognize how much control you have over your overload, new options will start to materialize. You’ll start holding a higher standard for what you say yes to. You’ll renegotiate timelines on last minute requests. And you’ll replace the fear of missing out with our much preferred joy of missing out .
While the state of modern work is taxing, it doesn’t have to be terminal. Take back your work life by focusing on what you can truly control.
