4 tips on how to work well under pressure.

Are you feeling the pressure already? Is the pressure to be the best stopping you from actually being the best? Here is how you handle pressure the smartest way and leverage it to your advantage. Make pressure your catalyst, your cheerleader, and watch the magic unfold. Read on for 4 interesting concepts that will help you handle it better.

1. Habit loop

People keep telling you that breaking a habit is easy whilst making a new one is a Himalayan task. That is not true in all cases. At times breaking a habit or a routine that you have followed for years together is really difficult. Especially when your body and brain are so accustomed to it. This comfort zone is a big bane.

Staying in your comfort zone will get you nowhere. Audit your habits and understand the ones that are decelerating your progress. Replace those habits with the ones that will lead you closer to your destiny. Build new habits and rewrite your story. Sacrifice small little comforts today for your success story that the world is waiting to hear.

2. Spotlight Effect

The pressure builds up only if you are focused on the result. Do you know why MS Dhoni is called Captain Cool? He is focused more on the process than on the results. A person who is focused on the process will enjoy it. People who are focussed on the result are creating a hell for themselves. Like Dhoni, Focus on the process, the results will take care of themselves.

3. Knowledge-Action Gap

It is the gap between what you should do and what you are doing. Take an account of the gaps and leakages in your plan vs your action. Be a doer than a mere planner. Execute your plans with courage and positivity. Let your actions match your dreams. Big dreams give you no time for small talks or cheap acts.

4. 5 Second rule of pressure

The heart knows what it wants, and where it wants to go. If you are confused or pressurized, breathe and stay still. Listen to your heart. Take a call in 5 seconds. Most of the time the heart, like your mom, knows what is best for you. Follow the 5-second rule when indecision or anxiety hits you next time.
