If Your Default is Annoyance and Taking A Deep Breath
Posted on | February 11, 2014 | No Comments
If Your Default is Annoyance and Taking A Deep Breath Stepping Up in Your Career Requires Better Health Maintenance I’ve seen it a hundred times: the successful executive who is 30 pounds overweight, sleeps poorly, and slams food and stimulation much too fast. Their response: I’m successful so I must be doing something right. It’s a tough call initially but I can point to many other executives and leaders who have incorporated healthy activities, food, and creative divergent thinking into their lifestyle. Who is to say our leaders might not benefit from a change? Men’s Health has a checklist for you in the March 2014 issue – and there are plenty of others. One of the first questions I ask clients, which comes from my work in mental health, is: When was your last complete physical? This tells me a lot about how someone manages their time, their resources, and sustainable success. Short bursts of activity may move us forward but they deplete our physical and yes, mental and emotional reserves pretty quickly. Ask yourself honestly: What is my patience level like? What do I think it is, and how does it appear to others? If your default is Annoyance and Taking A Deep Breath, you may not be handling stress and frustration well. Further depleting your energy and emotional stores makes you vulnerable to poor decision making, inability to listen to others, and likely to miss important facts.
