We know what we’re supposed to be doing to succeed. But daily life has a way of immersing us in a debilitating head-fog, and suddenly we realize we’ve wasted a day feeling nebulously nervous and playing with our hair. And we don’t have time for that nonsense, not in 2015. So we asked Bea Rhodes, certified life coach and founder of Rhodes Wellness College, for a couple dead-simple tricks to keep us on our A-game, no matter what the situation. —Adrienne Matei
Nail Networking Events: Pretend you are the host. Greet everyone and try and make them feel comfortable. You will be well-regarded and people will want to hear what you have to offer.
Broach the Promotion: Employers don’t care about what you believe you "deserve." They do care about what you have done for the company. Prepare by making a list of your contributions and approach them in a calm and friendly way.
Assuage Anxiety: The best anxiety reducing practices for milder cases of the nerves are to take a breath in, count to five, hold for three, and let the breath out to a count of five. While you are doing this, challenge and correct any anxiety-producing thought.
Manage Your Time Better: Make a list of the goals most important for you. Each time you plan your day, ask yourself, does this task help me achieve any of my important goals? If not, don’t do it.
Sometimes, it’s the little things you’ve got to concertedly remember.
