MIND OVER MATTER
HOW DO YOU COPE WHEN THE EVERYDAY COMES CRASHING INTO YOUR EVERY MOMENT?
MANAGING YOUR MINDSET
Mind over Matter can be really annoying saying but it is something worth learning how to manage. There is always a moment in every day that stress of some sort raises its head and says BOO!!
Just when you thought it was all going so well, thump, something jumps out and brings reality crashing back. It’s usually how you deal with these moments that sets you up for a future of growth or a downward spiral into business woe.
Life is naturally chaotic and as a business owner and skincare professional you are even more likely to find stress related issues as a direct result of your chosen career path. You are offering a FEEL GOOD SERVICE, the measurement of which is to ensure someone else feels stress free and totally pampered and beyond beautiful enough to come back and more importantly to tell everyone they know that you are the go to place, so…. no pressure there then??!!
Managing your mindset when any matter arises, that is not part of your day, as planned in your head when you first opened your eyes at the start of the day, is a learned art and a skill that will serve you well, in all aspects of your work and personal life balance.
How you decide to cope with the everyday stress or perceived crisis that only you can solve is often determined by your natural default personality but there are some proven techniques that will certainly ease the stress and strain of an already busy life.
1. FACT FIND - A simple understanding of what the actual situation is, so be clear and unemotional in your fact finding.
2. IMPACT - How is the situation going to impact the next 10 minutes,10 hrs, 10 days or even 10 months, helps to garner some perspective.
3. REALITY - Be real in your understanding of REALITY in the moment.
4. CALM - What can you offer now to solve or at least diffuse the escalation of the situation in a calm manner.
5. HARMONY - Scale it in your head - is it a quick solvable issue or will this take a long term approach to finalise the situation with all issues accounted and acknowledged in a harmonious manner for all.
