One of the tasks at my previous job was to stay abreast of issues trending in the internship world. In order to do that, I regularly scanned LinkedIn and read articles posted within my groups. Having left that role because of relocation reasons, LinkedIn became less of an information source and more of a job searching tool.
Since old habits die hard, I was not shocked when I gravitated toward this article posted about successful people and their abilities to stay calm on LinkedIn yesterday. In the article, Dr. Travis Bradberry detailed 10 of the most effective strategies that top performing individuals have used when faced with stress. Employing those strategies have helped them improve their memories and remain alert, while decreasing their risks of heart disease, depression and obesity.
Although some of the strategies may seem obvious, the real challenge will lie in your ability to "recognize when you need to use (the strategies) and have the wherewithal to actually do so in spite of your stress."
