If you are listening to this episode at the time of release December 21, 2022 then Happy X-mas! Whether you celebrate it or not, this is a time to cozy up and spend some time with your loved ones.
If you are listening to it another time, let's get on with it shall we?
This one is actually my older sister who gave me the idea.
She used to tell her little girl to 'shake it off' when they had a minor fall or bump. And I thought it was brilliant because you could see in their little faces that the moment went from escalating into just a game and my sister gave them a chance to asses weather the incident required a full on cry or just a kiss on the booboo and move on.
Similar for us in business, sometimes because we are not in touch with our feelings or because we have been taught by society that women cannot or should not express their feeling too much otherwise is considered overreacting sometimes we bottle it up so much that they may come out at the wrong time and in the wrong way.
So when a client frustrate us, our partners drives us crazy, a comment triggers us, think "Shake it off" and assess what are you feeling? Why are you feeling what you are feeling? Does it require a full blown tantrum (figuratively speaking) or can we just kiss the booboo and let it go.
The point is being more in tuned with our feelings and that sometimes requires us to take some time off of everything, especially in these holiday season.
