When stress hits, having pre-planned tools like anchors or affirmations lets you choose your response instead of reacting. Leaders who stay calm set the tone for their teams, whose behavior mirrors theirs.
it's very hard to think about intentionality at that point because you're already in it. So you have something that, you know, you're kind of prepared— an anchor, an affirmation, a sheet of paper, whatever it is that works for you— then, then you're, you're just so much ahead of the game. And, you know, we want to— we don't want to be stressed out. We want to have ways to, to, to to, uh, comfort ourselves and to be able to move forward in better ways and be better examples to the people who work for us too. So I think that these kind of techniques really rub off on other people too, because they see how you're reacting and your intentionality and how you're not reacting, but you're planning.
