I’ve been thinking a lot about how to manage stress during peak hours. Last week, I implemented a quick breathing technique that helped my team stay focused and calm during a rush. Would love to hear what other strategies you all use to keep your cool when things get hectic.
I totally relate to needing to stay calm… One thing that really helps me is doing a quick stretch break during the rush. Even just a minute to shake it out can reset my focus and keep the energy up.
I hear you on needing to stay calm during rushes. I’ve found that using a mantra like ‘stay present’ helps me refocus, especially when things get chaotic. Do you have any go-to phrases you share with your team?
I’ve found that keeping a small stress ball handy is a lifesaver during long shifts. Whenever things heat up, I just take a moment to squeeze it — it’s like a mini workout for my mind! @hbarns88, have you tried anything like that?
