Chapter 1
Coping with change
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
– Leo Tolstoy
Understand that your effort and attitude are often the only things within your control.
Directing your energy towards things you can control, makes you far more effective.
Shape Your Impact
While you can influence others and situations, you can’t dictate outcomes.
Maximize your influence by exemplifying positive change.
Act as a role model and establish your own healthy limits.
Avoid attempting to change those unwilling to change themselves.
Think about what you could do when failure happens.
Often, the worst outcome isn’t as tragic as imagined.
Realizing you can manage even the toughest situations allows you to focus your efforts more constructively.
Engage in problem-solving by seeking solutions to enhance success. Continue to brainstorm and implement strategies.
If you find yourself obsessing over potential disasters repeatedly, acknowledge this unproductive mindset and shift your thinking.
Allocating time for stress management enhances your efficiency.
Key self-care activities include exercising, maintaining a balanced diet, and ensuring adequate sleep.
Additionally, avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as excessive drinking or venting to others.
