In this video, Suzie Yeulett and I dive deeper into the topic of anxiety at work, a common issue that many people face. We discuss how situations like high-stake meetings or presentations can feel intimidating and often trigger fear. Interestingly, these fears are rooted in our thoughts rather than the actual event itself.
We explore the power of thought and how it shapes our experiences. For example, two people can have entirely different reactions to the same fairground ride based on their thoughts about it. This concept applies to workplace anxiety as well; it's not the meeting or presentation that's inherently scary, but our thoughts about them.
Key points include:
- Recognizing that anxiety is created by our thoughts.
- Understanding that our resistance to an event often creates more stress than the event itself.
- Learning to be present in the moment, even if we're feeling anxious. We also touch on how overthinking about future events can lead to unnecessary anxiety. While some preparation is practical, excessive worrying is futile and counterproductive.
Additionally, we highlight how our minds tend to create stories about what others might think of us, which further fuels anxiety.
Ultimately, the goal is to change our relationship with these anxious thoughts. By understanding that they are just thoughts and not reality, we can approach stressful situations with more clarity and calmness. This shift in perspective can help us handle work-related anxieties more effectively and live with greater ease and joy.
