How to stay inside your “Circle of influence”

Getting stressed about the small things lately?

I have been hearing from a lot of people about how they are feeling extra stressed and strangely “emotional” over the past few weeks. Little things you normally would shrug off seem to be causing more stress and easily frustrated than usual. Sound familiar?

When you focus on the things outside of your control (like what’s happening in the world outside your house over the past couple months), you are in REACTION MODE.

That’s not a fun place to be. Like you’re waiting for the next big problem to hit, so you are always on alert.

Staying in your “circle of influence” will help you alleviate so much stress!

Here’s a quick Action Plan to help you stay inside of your influence:

-Stressed? If your feeling stressed, move yourself physically out of your environment. Don’t sit there watching the news or staring at your devices. Go for a walk, listen to music, workouts, or meditate.

-Clear Your Mind. With all of the chaos, disorder and uncertainty, more than ever you need to be still, clear your mind, and think for YOURSELF. Meditate, pray, breathe, do whatever works for you, but spend some time in silence daily.

-Workout. At least 3-5 times a week.. Enough said🔑

-Media detox. There’s a big difference between being informed and over-consuming the news. Be mindful of the amount of time your watching it. Learn what you need, and then shut it down.
-Gratitude. First thing in the morning and last thing before bed.
-Morning Ritual. Don’t skip it. Make sure you start your day with something that sets your day up for success!
-Get inspired. Read books, watch inspiring videos, call people you love.. do whatever you need to do to stay in a positive state.

REMEMBER- YOU CAN’T POUR FROM AN EMPTY CUP..
