Addressing the Real Root Cause Of Stress That Wreaks Havoc On Our Body, Work, And Life

cause-of-stress

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how to address the real root cause of stress:

There’s something extra special about waking up in the morning when you’re on vacation. I recently experienced it. It’s that elimination of incoming stress as you wrack your brain for things that need to be done in the hours ahead. Instead, in the absence of stress you wake up feeling at peace – your body relaxed and you feel energized and free.

What if you could feel like that every day, not just when you’re on vacation? Do you ever wonder if you were free from stress, who would you have the freedom to be? 

Too many people experience feeling stress-free only a few days out of the year. According to The American Institute of Stress, 33% of people report feeling extreme stress. 

77% of people experience stress that affects their physical health.

73% of people have stress that affects their mental health.

The numbers don’t lie about the havoc that stress wreaks. Three out of four of us are dealing with stress that is negatively impacting our life. That could be you as a leader, your employees, or your family members.

This stress prevents you from playing full out personally and professionally. Yet, too often we feel that stress simply comes with the territory. It’s a known “side-effect” of the life we lead. I want you to know that this doesn’t have to be the case. 

The topic of stress is nothing new, but the way that I want to approach solving it is. Rather than addressing the external causes and symptoms of stress, I want to address the real root cause of stress so that you can transform it. 

Managing your symptoms is only sustainable for so long and like anytime we only address symptoms, stress will continue to return if you aren’t addressing its source. I know.  For too long I unsuccessfully tried to control my external world in order to avoid stress. 

Instead of trying to control everything around us to keep stress at bay, we can learn how to self-regulate so that when we experience stress, we will have the tools to extract the root and transform it. Learning this technique along with two ways to self-regulate will allow you to stop the pattern of continually being triggered by the same situation, employee, worry, or family member, over and over again. 

So if you’re feeling the stress of doing a million things and feel like you are carrying a lot for many, tune in and take notes!

In this episode on addressing the real root cause of stress, I share:

  • How to uncover the real root cause of stress and go beyond working on the surface symptoms  
  • Two simple techniques to pull yourself out of a stress attack instantly
  • The liberating mindset shift to go from blaming external circumstances or other people for your stress so you can be freer than ever before 
  • Why it matters which nervous system we are operating from 
  • How to recognize your triggers and what to do once you observe them 
  • A 4-step approach to balancing your subconscious so it doesn’t take over your life

Becoming a Jumpseat Leader with Peter Docker

jumpseat-leader

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how to become a jumpseat leader:

There are many responsibilities and challenges that come with leading others. Perhaps one of the most difficult is letting go of our control in all types of situations.

For example, imagine being in the middle of an emergency and doing absolutely nothing. Instead, you trust the people around you to take the lead. If that makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Leading with this level of confidence and courage is a type of leadership that most aren’t familiar with.

As difficult as giving up control may be, it’s also very necessary. In fact, it is inevitable. In our careers, we will have to leave our team at some point. As a parent, we will watch our children leave home. When we learn to hand over the reins to others, we are allowing them to confidently move forward.

If you’re used to being the leader who always has the answer, and always springs into action, it may be time to look at the way you lead from a different lens. But how? Our guest, Peter Docker, is sharing how to embrace what he calls, leading from the jumpseat.

Becoming a Jumpseat Leader will lift others up and empower them to become great leaders as well. This shift will allow you to make the greatest impact and leave the greatest legacy.

Peter Docker teaches people how to navigate the challenge of leadership. His latest book, Leading from the Jumpseat, delivers the message that leadership is about lifting people up and giving them the space they need so that, when the time is right, they can take the lead.

Co-author of Find Your Why and formerly a founding Igniter at Simon Sinek Inc., Peter draws on his 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, and over 14 years spent partnering with businesses around the world, to inspire others to Lead from the Jumpseat.

In this episode on becoming a jumpseat leader, I share:

  • What a jumpseat is and how it relates to leadership in all aspects of your life
  • The difference between a stand and a position (and examples of each)
  • How to notice when we are leading from our ego and what the antidote is
  • Taking advantage of the opportunities to make choices from love rather than fear
  • How you can create a team culture that genuinely cares
  • Peter’s 3 main practices of jumpseat leadership
  • What to do if you’re feeling overwhelmed and overextended as a leader

Five Questions To Cultivate Your Team’s Happiness As Well As Your Own

your-teams-happiness

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how to cultivate your team’s happiness as well as your own:

13 years ago, I saw Tony Robbins speak at a conference. I recall him saying something that really stuck with me.

He said that the quality of your life will be determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself.

At the time of this conference, this question caught my attention and I thought it was an interesting one. While it stayed in the back of my mind, I didn’t fully appreciate the truth in his statement until years later.

Today, I can say with confidence that the quality of the questions you ask yourself, and others, is everything to your business, leadership, and even your parenting. I now use questions all day, every day, in my work to empower people to see solutions to problems they hadn’t seen before. 

Think about how you’re feeling in the present. In this shaken and noisy world we’re in right now, many describe feeling unproductive, unsettled, and even unhappy, not totally knowing the reason why. 

When we as leaders have these kinds of feelings, that negative energy quickly and easily transfers to those we lead.

This is where the power of empowering questions comes into play massively.  I’m going to provide you with a handful of questions that you can use individually or with your team to empower them to rise to higher levels of decision-making, productivity, and happiness almost instantly.   

These questions are guaranteed to change perspective. And we know that when we change perspectives, that’s where the real change ultimately begins.

Finally, I invite you to tune into our next episode where I will be interviewing Peter Docker, author of the book Leading from the Jump Seat. It’s a fantastic read, and I promise it will be an interview you won’t want to miss.

In this episode on how to cultivate your team’s happiness, I share:

  • How our unhappiness and low vibration easily transfer to those we lead
  • A powerful and simple secret to cultivating your team’s happiness, as well as your own
  • 5 game-changing questions that will help you turn around some of the common workplace problems (as well as your own) 
  • The one thing to ask when you know you need to redirect yourself or others and time matters.

Using Equal Energy Exchange (E3) to Troubleshoot Work Irritations

troubleshoot-work-irritations

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how to troubleshoot work irritations:

Are you the person at work who always shows up and gets results? Maybe you are the person who your colleagues or your boss come to when they need someone to work through a difficult project or step in to lead a presentation at the last minute. 

Being the “go-to” person may feel good sometimes, especially initially. But over time, you may notice this feeling begins to shift. It may transform into resentment, frustration, or even anger. 

You want to help and show up for your people, but at what cost to you? When it comes at the cost of your time and energy and without a reciprocal amount of energy returned, the unequal balance of energy can quickly deteriorate otherwise good relationships. It’s a common problem today even among talented and established individuals, leaders, and teams.

The problem with unequal energy exchange is that it’s often misdiagnosed. When I first speak to individuals, no one ever asks for help with their boundary issues. Instead they explain feeling overwhelmed or carrying resentment towards work or colleagues. Some report feeling that they have no time for themselves and long for the days when they feel free. All of these descriptions disguise what are boundary issues which are a result of unequal energy exchanges.

I can spot the diagnosis of an unequal energy exchange a mile away, and get to the underlying cause, because I’ve experienced it myself. Years ago, I said yes to almost any request for help at work. I performed, I pleased, and I was a producer of much. However, it was energetically taxing me and it was at a cost that I didn’t recognize at the time. I rarely asked for the help that I needed even when I was at my sickest. 

Fast forward to today, and the opposite is true. I now use the Equal Energy Exchange (E3) to prevent me from getting into the predicament of being over-extended, annoyed, or worse – resentful.  I have a high value for my energy. I’m a master at establishing and holding my boundaries so that I never sacrifice myself or blame others because I didn’t say no. I know that it is my job to balance the energy scales, not anyone else’s. By understanding the energy exchange I am never a victim and can rectify inequities quickly. I know how to restore energetic equilibrium and as a result my relationships are elevated. I want the same for you.

In this episode on how to troubleshoot work irritations, I share:

  • The many forms of energy we have to give and receive.
  • The two common things that occur when we don’t establish and hold our boundaries.
  • A super powerful tool that will help you set and hold a boundary, no matter how big of an over giver or people pleaser, you are.
  • How to know if there is an equal energy exchange, or if the energy scale is off-balance.
  • The exact words to use to communicate to another that a boundary has been violated.
  • How you can increase your levels of peace and productivity simply by asking for what you want and need.

How Fulfilled Leaders Win Before Most People Wake

how-fulfilled-leaders-win

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how fulfilled leaders win before most people wake:

We’ve hit that time of the year where it’s easy to feel a little less energy and focus than when the year began. Maybe you’re facing the same struggles that you did last year, or maybe new challenges have risen. Regardless, you want to experience the confidence, energy, and enthusiasm that you notice other high-contributors and strong leaders in your world exhibiting. 

The question is, how do some leaders accomplish so much all while seeming to have endless energy to expand themselves, their careers and life? The answer lies in something that I am extremely passionate about, and that is rituals and routines. The masters of their art have a few key rituals throughout the day that deliberately position them for increased productivity, performance, purpose, and peace. I call these the four keys to power. 

Specifically, they embrace and refine one ritual that is like high-octane fuel for their mind, body and spirit. It is the secret to turning you into the hero of your own life. Are you ready for it?

It’s the morning ritual.

I first experienced the power of the morning ritual about 25 years ago. I taught early morning fitness classes before my day job to earn money. Magic happened as a result of those 6:00 am classes. Obviously, I felt stronger physically but more importantly I noticed my confidence climb, my creativity increase and I had the calm I needed to focus on work that mattered and to navigate challenges that occurred throughout the day. I also noticed that on the days when I didn’t follow my morning routine I was less  productive, balanced and peaceful.  

Fast forward to today and I still believe in the early morning ritual magic. The only difference is that now I know the brain science and proven results behind it. When you have a strong morning ritual, the kind that I’m talking about, you’re going to be able to sustain high output, as well as feel balance and happiness throughout your day. Uncover how so many leaders just like you are elevating their personal mastery and professional impact using an early morning ritual. Then use the 5-step method I share  here to implement your own morning ritual and begin to notice your own performance, joy and focus elevate.

In this episode on how fulfilled leaders win, I share:

  • The two things you must know when it comes to burnout in the workplace
  • The critical first step in the process to escape burnout
  • How to know when it’s time for you to tell your boss you’re overextended, 
  • How to position the conversation so that you’re heard and get what you need
  • What to expect your boss’ reaction to be when you have this conversation 
  • Why the Hero Complex thinking is not serving you or the people around you
  • Research-backed tips if you are the boss on the receiving end of a direct report’s burnout conversation, and how you can avoid this problem in the first place

How To Tell Your Boss You’re Overextended Without Hurting Your Career

overextended

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how to tell your boss you’re overextended:

How do I tell my boss that I’m burnt out without jeopardizing my career? 

This is a question that I’ve been getting a lot of lately. It seems to be a hot topic for both employees and managers, and for good reason. Employees across all industries are overextended and feeling burnt out in the workplace. If you’re feeling this way, maybe you’ve even tried to fix the problem but haven’t found a successful solution long term. 

What I’ve noticed about driven leaders like you is that your strength and success are a blessing and a curse. You have a high threshold for pain, meaning that you are used to being overextended and rarely admit that the weight of all the demands at work and in life are getting to be too much. 

The rising workload only continues to rise and if you’re like many there’s a good chance you’re wearing far too many hats and have taken on the responsibilities of too many. You’ve pushed yourself too far for too long, and it’s neither realistic nor sustainable. 

At this point, you may even be considering the option of burning it all down and quitting. 

Hold on. There’s a step before leaving that you can and should take, and that is to have a candid and constructive conversation with your boss. The chance of things changing for the better is higher than you think, and it is possible to position yourself to build the work and life that you want without compromising your well-being any longer. Consider that not having the conversation is actually irresponsible.   

I’m going to share exactly how to approach this conversation with your boss without destroying everything that you have worked so hard for. I’ll even give you the exact words that you can say. The goal of this conversation is to share that you need a change to the current way things are being done. And most good bosses are going to want to help.

If you are a boss, this episode applies to you as well. You know that your employee’s well-being is directly tied to the business outcomes. When employees start sacrificing themselves to produce business results, the business is going to ultimately see it in their bottom lines sooner than later. That’s just a fact. 

Once someone is burnt out, productivity and performance drop substantially, and then the chances that your key player is going to seek to leave are dramatically increased too. Checking in on your employees before they reach this level will help to avoid high turnover and increase overall happiness and productivity in the workplace. 

When employees voice that the workload has become too much, and when bosses schedule regular conversations with their direct reports, all parties benefit. This collaboration supports employees to thoughtfully and confidently maintain healthy well-being and increase business outcomes.

In this episode I share:

  • The two things you must know when it comes to burnout in the workplace
  • The critical first step in the process to escape burnout
  • How to know when it’s time for you to tell your boss you’re overextended, 
  • How to position the conversation so that you’re heard and get what you need
  • What to expect your boss’ reaction when you have this conversation 
  • Why the Hero Complex thinking is not serving you or the people around you

Five Mistakes The Overwhelmed Make In Their Approach That The Fulfilled Do Not

five mistakes

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear the five mistakes the overwhelmed make:

There’s something rare that only 2% of the world has. That is a written personal vision or a painted picture of your ideal future. Many overwhelmed and hurried leaders attempt to accomplish this, but they end up missing the mark. They take shortcuts that ultimately take away from the real value of this exercise. 

Taking the time to get crystal clear on your personal vision is imperative for talented leaders like you. Maybe you have climbed the ladder of success, but you still aren’t quite where you want to be. You don’t quite feel like the person that you’ve always wanted to become. You are not alone. Since the start of the pandemic, the rising workloads, and blurred boundaries have made the need for clarity of purpose and identity necessary, now more than ever.

So, the need for change and for identifying your ideal future is there. But too often, the question of what do you want is answered with I don’t know. You may know what you don’t want. You don’t want to work 24/7 and miss out on time with your family. You don’t want to continue putting yourself last. You don’t want to continue feeling like you just need to make it through the day. However, maybe sitting down and writing out details of what you do want for this next phase of life seems daunting. Maybe it even feels like just another demand that you don’t have time for. 

Solidifying this vision for yourself may even feel stressful because you don’t want to identify it and then not reach it or, worse, end up realizing that your goals are taking a different direction entirely. Here comes the good news. Getting your vision down is more important than getting it right. The fun part of a vision is understanding that it is editable at all times.

Today, I’m going to simplify this process of identifying your vision. I’m going to provide you with a way to get clear of your ideal future and get your vision down even if you’ve failed to do so in the past. This jumpstart will fuel you to rise above the noise and aspire to what it is you truly desire and be the person you are here to become.

In this episode I share:

  • Why an aspirational vision is so important on a personal and scientific basis
  • An exercise to help you get clear on an ideal future and get your vision down, even if you’ve failed to do so in the past
  • 5 common mistakes that will make identifying your personal and professional vision extremely difficult, and how to avoid them
  • How to move from reasonable thinking to magical thinking in order to build the life and work you truly want
  • The 3 simple questions guarantee you capture a picture of your ideal future without the second-guessing

Five Strategies To Position You For A Breakthrough

breakthrough

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear the 5 strategies to position you for a breakthrough:

As we enter the excitement of a new year, you’re likely flooded with messages about creating another set of goals or resolutions. Personally, I don’t feel like the calendar has to change in order to feel and see a fresh start. Every single day is a new beginning and a chance to start anew. As passionate as I am about being able to push the reset button anytime, this new year, without a doubt, adds a greater feeling of excitement!

While many use the word “goal”, that term has always felt lifeless and one-dimensional to me. Instead, I prefer the word “breakthrough”. It has much more emotion and feeling. A breakthrough occurs when you unlock your limitations and the once-impossible becomes possible. Getting clear on what a breakthrough outcome would look like for you is particularly important at this time.

This year is already proving to be a year of well-earned and well-deserved breakthroughs. So many have been welled up mentally, emotionally, professionally, and personally. We are ready to bust through the internal and external limitations that have kept us playing small and holding back. Some have already let the dam burst. Others are committing and positioning themselves currently.

To begin your breakthrough, you must first identify and make the declaration of the breakthrough you want to experience this year. Maybe the breakthrough that you want is to have a greater balance between work and home, maybe it’s to do less and enjoy more, or maybe it’s a breakthrough to experience a promotion. The great thing about your breakthroughs is that they have a ripple effect that heals and catapults our workplaces, homes, and the world. When you break through your limitations, not only you but your family and those you work with, and those you serve are set in motion to experience their breakthrough too. That’s compelling, right?

I’m going to share specific and practical strategies with you so that you can lean in, let go, trust yourself, and take your next right action. It’s a year of unlimited possibility. It’s your time to unlock and breakthrough anything that’s been holding you back. When you do you will see your transformation occur in every category of your life naturally and automatically.

In this episode I share:

  • An explanation of why you must first identify the breakthrough that you want to experience before taking action
  • A way to condition our nervous system in advance to allow for the breakthrough 
  • Common ways that we tend to block our breakthroughs from occurring
  • 5 simple strategies to be positioned for a breakthrough this year
  • A strategy to move from negative thoughts into joy and inspiration 
  • A reminder of why play is important to productivity

The Daily System To Feeling Calm When Everything Else Is Not

calm

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Have you ever had one of those days that just feels so intense? From the second you wake up, feelings of anxiety and stress rush over you. You know what I’m talking about. You’re scattered, far from present, and completely ungrounded. Maybe by now you’ve realized that these pressured pace mornings are more the norm than not. 

I’ve been observing a disturbing trend that has been occurring, even before the pandemic began. It’s the noticeable and detrimental overstimulation of so many. We can’t go more than one hour without checking our email, and find it impossible to be fully present in conversations with our coworkers or even our children. 

The statistics show that this is a proven problem among our society. 83% of United States workers suffer from work related stress. 63% of workers are ready to quit their job because of stress. And the problem isn’t just in our workplaces. Our mental health is affected every single day by constantly being in this state of acceleration. It all comes down to being ungrounded, and it’s an epidemic of its own.

When we’re ungrounded, our minds move to a million different places at any given second. On a scientific level, what we’re feeling is our sympathetic nervous system in fight or flight mode. There are ways to break free of this era of constant motion and it’s more important now than ever.

Incorporating short, easy daily grounding practices has made a world of difference in my mental, physical and performance health, and I know they can do the same for you. A few intentional shifts can stop the buzzing and help you to achieve a better quality of life  and higher levels of performance on-going.

In this episode I share:

  • My perspective on what it means to be grounded and my daily grounding practices
  • Sure signs that you are ungrounded
  • Ways to instantly center yourself so that you can be up to 40% more productive 
  • What happens when we stop thinking that we should be somewhere other than where we are
  • An easy 30-second system that drops dopamine to your nervous system and informs your brain you are stronger than you think. (Can be done every time you use the bathroom).

About Rita Hyland

With over 20 years of experience as an executive and leadership coach, Rita helps leaders — emerging and established — excel in corporate and entrepreneurial environments.

Rita believes if leaders were more clear about how transformation really works and more intentional about creating what they want, their impact, success, and influence in the world would be unstoppable.

Through her coaching programs, private coaching, and masterminds, Rita shows leaders how to win consistently and create the impact and legacy they desire.

Central to Rita’s work is the understanding that you will never outperform your current programming, no matter how strong your willpower.

When you learn to use Rita’s proprietary Neuroleadership Growth Code, a technology which uses the best of neuroscience and transformational psychology to hit the brain’s buttons for change, YOU become both the solution and the strategy.

Her mission is to end talented, hard-working, and self-aware leaders spending another day stuck in self-doubt or confusion and not contributing their brilliant work and talent the world so desperately needs.

Four Steps To Complete Your Year Before You Plan Your Next

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

We are in the homestretch of 2021. Can you believe it? That means soon we’ll be flooded with messages of setting ambitious goals for the upcoming year. In fact, you may already be thinking about yours. Of course, it’s important to create a vision for yourself as you prepare for the year ahead. After all, without a plan, we drift.

However, before you begin to set up your future, there’s a crucial step that is too often overlooked, that is, we must first complete our current year. You probably know that if we don’t take stock and learn from history, we repeat it, right? 

Imagine being aware of both the successes that you’ve had this year and the mistakes you’ve made along the way. When you rush into a new plan without this step of reflection and celebration, you’re bound to recreate more of the same. 

To help you with this process, I have a tried and tested exercise that you can take and immediately incorporate into your planning for 2022. It’s a method that has been responsible for increasing bottom lines, identifying high value work and improving relationships with oneself and others. When put in motion, you will position yourself for the experience you truly want for this coming year.

In this episode I share:

  • The simple yet significant four steps to take to complete your year
  • A walk through of what I’ve done to give reverence to the year
  • How to let go of any regrets or negativity that you’ve been harboring in 2021
  • Why you need to acknowledge your wins and losses from the past year, no matter how large or small
