#Beingaleader means you have to deal with pressure. Pressure of time. Pressure of confrontation. Pressure of success. Pressure of failure. Pressure of deadlines. Pressure of expectations. Lots of different kinds of pressure. But you feel them all. And seemingly can’t get away from them.
#Beingaleader often feels like you live in a daily pressure cooker. Actions and emotions. Not just other people’s emotions. But your own as well. Everyone is wanting something from you. All of those calendar dates creeping closer and closer and you still don’t feel ready. The thought that everyone is looking at you or that they will if you fail. That’s a lot to carry. Every day.
You need to find some pressure release valves. It’s different for everyone. Some will need to walk in the woods. Some to read books or go to the lake. Some will play video games or watch a movie. Others might simply need time alone to recharge. When you feel the pressure building up, use your release valve even if it’s just for a very short time. You will need to focus again soon and the pressure itself is not going away so you need to be able to push through with the reality you live in. Try walking away from your computer for just long enough to catch your breath and refocus.
#Beingaleader means you have to deal with pressure. Handle with care.
