In this time of change and uncertainty, there are many uncontrollables including when we will get a vaccine for COVID-19 or the restrictions in place. But we are in control of our attitude.

In this time of uncertainty around the nation, we can show compassion with others by gifting others with kindness and understanding. As leaders, we can realize people are suffering and have an authentic desire to listen and understand. Showing compassion is essential for human survival.

This week’s Power Phrase: “I show myself and others compassion while listening with an open mind to understand their perspective.”

We can think like the world’s best by seeing adversity as happening for us, not to us. Adversity helps us grow into the person we are supposed to become to reach our goals and step into our dreams. Everything magnificent that we’ve likely accomplished required or even perhaps demanded difficulty, struggle, and grit. We can embrace adversity and believe this is a time to learn and grow.
This week's Power Phrase: “I embrace adversity. I see adversity as happening for me, not to me.”

During this time period of change and adversity, we need to protect our mind. We need to stand guard to our mind and pay attention to the meaning we are assigning to our experience. We can choose to attach a negative or a positive meaning to our experiences. When we choose a positive meaning, we are focused on how this time is a gift, how we can learn and grown, adjust as humans, and invest in ourselves. This is the high performance mindset.

Cindra discusses how to deal with your emotions during this time of uncertainty and change. She describes that your mindset drives everything – how you live, the stress you feel, and how you lead. Remember all of your emotions are valuable. Emotions are not good or bad. By labeling your emotions, you can understand what led to that feeling with curiosity and openness. Your emotions are data not directives, as Dr. Susan David describes. You can show up and act despite how you are feeling.
This week’s Power Phrase: “I respond with purpose and intention. I use my emotions as data.”

This Friday April 17th I was set to do a Ted Talk that has been put on hold. I knew I needed to direct my energy to something new. I asked myself, “How can I help? How can I serve?"

These top 20 experts include bestselling authors, top mental performance coaches for pro teams, and other influencers on the topic of mindset and how you can deal with adversity and change.

“Alone we are strong…together we are stronger.” Anonymous
We are all in this together. Everyone in the world is impacted by COVID-19. The key is to remember to be compassionate with others. We are all doing the best we can.

We can do this by using the Power Pause by taking a deep breath and then saying a Power Phrase such as “I can handle anything that comes my way” or “I stay mentally strong.”
Today’s Power Phrase: “I choose to respond with purpose and intention. I can handle anything that comes my way.”

During this time of uncertainty and change, we want to focus on the controllables and watch the words we use to explain our experiences. The words we attach to our experiences becomes our experience.

Today’s Power Phrase: “I choose to level up my language. I notice the words I use to describe my experiences because those words become my experience.”
