Handling Anxiety in Corporate

Bump, observing a similar pattern here as well. 

Learnt that mostly I am undergoing analysis by paralysis, must be a function of being accountable for work products with delicate numbers and storylines. Anyone else can advice how they overcame this.

For me a couple of things helped:

• Separate your worth as a person away from the work you do. We have become so accustomed to having our academic and work achievements represent us, but that can be a double edged sword
• Rescale how you see yourself. Are these mistakes something you will remember a month from now? A year from now? A decade from now? Ultimately each individual stressor on your mind will not be significant in the course of time
• Release your stress. I'm a big believer in the fact that stress creates pent up energy inside us, and we need to find ways to let it out. Find what works for you. Maybe it's exercise, maybe its a creative activity, maybe its venting and speaking out loud what gives your anxiety
• Address the issue. Is there anyway you can resolve the issue that is causing your stress? For me its confronting its head on and excessively planning for a project or deal that I'm staffed on. By exploring and creating contingencies for many things that could go wrong, I reassure myself with a formulated plan
• Have faith in yourself. At the end of the day we can only control how we react to things in life, and know that you have brought yourself this far. Trust that you can handle whatever comes your way
