Pressure Is On And You're Overwhelmed -STOP!

I've made both good and bad decisions in my life time. In looking back I can honestly say many of the bad decisions where made when I was under pressure or feeling overwhelmed.

It's that react or respond thing. Taking the time to step back, take a deep breath and let the feeling of being overwhelmed leave you before making a decision can make a difference between a good decision and a bad decision.

My friend, Richard Flint, has some wise words on making decisions: Never make a decision when you feel overwhelmed. This is such an important thought! Every time you feel overwhelmed you are mentally weak and gathering emotions. This is the wrong time to make decisions. Any decision you make will be more emotionally charged than mentally thought-out. This means what you are doing is not a decision; it is an emotional reaction that will demand you come back and deal with it all over again. That will just steal more energy.

Remember, if you can't manage your pace, you can't control your life.

TODAY'S REAL ESTATE MARKET CHALLENGES US TO STAY "IN CONTROL"

When you are out of control, what happens to your emotions? Do you rant and rave? Do you snap at innocent victims? I ask, Is it your mind or your emotions taking over? Richard Flint imparts to you some thought provoking insight to this question.

Pace is not about your mind; it is about controlling your emotions. Have you ever noticed that your mind is always calm? Your mind doesn't race; it is your emotions. Your mind wants you to move slow. It understands the slower you move, the more you are going to accomplish. Your emotions are a different story. When your emotions join forces and scatter you, you're going to be out of control. When you are out of control, you are dangerous to yourself and anyone who is standing close to you. Stay in touch with how you feel; that is where the confusion will start its journey.

Remember, if you can't manage your pace, you can't control your life.

DO You React or Respond?

When a crisis comes up, be it large or small, how do you handle it? Do you immediately start ranting? Do you take the "pause" and respond to keep control of your self and the situatiion? Do you look like an idiot RANTING and RAVING and lose the respect of others?

Staying calm and responding is strong and demands RESPECT. Richard Flint gives these words of wisdom on how to make the difference and I dare you to do it.

If you want to master responding; master slowing down. I've said it for years, "Respond, don't react!" It is so easy to say, but so challenging for most to achieve. Why? It's challenging because most live through their emotions, not their imagination. The more emotions involved, the greater the challenge to slowing down. You can't take all the emotions out of the decision making, but you can make sure the emotions are supporting a creative decision, not feeding a reactionary feeling.

Remember, if you can't manage your pace, you can't control your life.
