Being able to see the whole picture before making a decision.  Leading by example.  Treat my team as I want to be treated.

Negative stress can cause many health issues for an individual, such as stomach trouble, fatigue, depression, headaches, chronic pain, and or high blood pressure. If a person is experiencing negative stress, talking to someone they trust, starting a new hobby, or exercising is a form of self-care that can help ease the tension.

In the past I continually would be overwhelmed by everything; stress was my lifestyle. The way I was able to turn around and live virtually stress free is because God, my higher power. He helps as I turn to Him for guidance. This way of life is how I will to continue to live. 

Even though no one likes to be told no, or a negative response compared to what was expected, being honest is the best answer. One of the many things I have taught my kids, the truth sometimes hurts, but be sweet if it is something that will hurt someone. I enjoy following up with everyone that has any requests, or needs help. 

Be conscious of my thoughts, before I form words out of them. Make sure I lead by good example to go above and beyond what I need to, for my coworkers, and company. Always be aware of people needs, even when none is vocalized. Some challenges would be not to overstep, and form words that encourage when making suggestions that might come across has hurtful. 

I have learned through life experiences and this course the we have to let the stuff out our control go so it doesn't add to stress we already encounter day to day. I believe talking to people and not thinking you are alone in any issue is vital. We have to take care of ourselves if we want to be of any use to others.
