When I started my current job, I found myself getting easily stressed and overwhelmed with tasks. One day, a colleague shared this tip with me: take 5 minutes to write down everything that’s stressing you out and then visualize yourself solving each problem one by one.

Here’s how it works:

1. Identify the Issues: Spend those 5 minutes writing down all the things that are causing stress or anxiety in your workday.
2. Visualize Solutions: Once you have a list, close your eyes and imagine yourself addressing each issue step-by-step. For example, if you’re worried about an upcoming presentation, visualize yourself delivering it confidently and receiving positive feedback.
3. Plan Your Actions: After visualizing, make a plan of action to address the issues in reality.

This helps clear your mind and gives you a sense of control over the situation, and provides a structured approach to tackling problems. It worked for me, hopefully it works for you too!
