Let’s get real. Worry. It creeps in like an uninvited guest, sets up camp, and before you know it—bam—you’re stuck in a cycle. Sound familiar?
Worry has this sneaky way of paralyzing us. Whether you’re leading a nonprofit, juggling your social impact business, or just trying to keep your head above water, worry isn’t just draining—it’s distracting. And, honestly, you don’t have time for that. I mean, you didn’t step into leadership to be timid, right?
So, here’s a thought that may raise an eyebrow: What if worry isn’t the problem? What if how we manage it is?
I want to challenge you. Because, as your Wave-Maker, it’s my mission to make sure you not only ride the leadership wave—you own it. So, let’s turn that anxious energy into momentum. How? Let me hit you with five strategies that’ll shift you from worry to wave-making wonder.
Five Strategies to Breakdown Worry to Propel YOU Forward
Strategy One: Call Out the Beast
When worry shows up, don’t ignore it. Name it. Grab a pen, write it down, get specific. Worry is like fog—it feels heavy, but once you see it for what it is, you can move through it. Once it’s on paper, it loses its power. Simple, but game-changing.
Strategy Two: Let Your Body Do the Talking
You’re not just a mind stuck in endless loops—you have a body! Feel where that worry sits in you—your chest, your gut, your throat? (That’s where mine likes to hang out.) Now, breathe through it. Release it through vocalization. Yes, even if that means yelling into a pillow. Conscious Leadership is a practice, and sometimes, you need to let it out to let it go. Trust me, it works.
Strategy Three: Flip the Script
What’s the story you’re telling yourself? Worry thrives on the “what-ifs.” But what if you flipped that script? Instead of, “What if I fail?” ask, “What if I succeed beyond measure?” Shifting perspective isn’t just optimistic fluff—it’s the difference between staying stuck and stepping up.
Strategy Four: Break it Down
You know the saying: “How do you eat an elephant?” One bite at a time. Worry often feels massive because you’re looking at the whole mountain. Break it down. What’s the next best step you can take? Just one. Then take it. Action kills anxiety.
Strategy Five: Remember Your Ripple
You’re a leader. You’re making waves. Every move you make creates a ripple effect. So ask yourself: Is worrying serving your mission? Your team? Your cause? Imagine the difference if you channel all that energy into building something—something that lasts. Something that inspires. When you focus on your impact, worry takes a backseat.
Now, I get it—these strategies won’t make worry disappear entirely. And that’s not the point. The point is to manage it. To reframe it. To transform it into fuel that drives you forward, not holds you back.
