Episode Synopsis
Big Feelings? Pull Up Your Perspective
How do we work with Big Feelings as we lead others? We need to consciously metabolize our experiences, in part by being intentional about the perspective we bring to them, says Ashley Reid, CEO of Wellist. Is stress bad? Not necessarily. It may tell us we are working on something we really care about. Important we find ways to come back to serenity, pull ourselves and our perspective up, and focus on what is most essential today. That can be getting on the Peloton, preparing a client presentation and having a high quality after action review with our team. “And that is enough for today.” In this way we can show up clear for the next moment. “That is really important to me,” says, Ashley. “Before I let anything come out of my mouth, I need to be clear inside.” How am I taking care of my inner landscape? How do I not let unmetabolized experiences spill over into my next interaction with someone, especially those closest to us, where we tend to spill most easily? Take the perspective of “Maybe Yes, Maybe No.” What ever is presenting itself in the short term may look like a disaster. In the long term, it can be a great blessing. It all depends on the perspective we bring to this moment.
