55% of employees in India suffer from Anxiety.


But being successful starts with managing your emotions.

Here is why-

Many people don't realize the seriousness of this issue.

But stress can be mentally paralyzing.

You can feel overwhelmed to the point that your thinking freezes.

I am myself going through a painful partner betrayal trauma.

Everyday I wake up, I feel a huge 80kg truck has hit me with new reality that I didn't know about since last 10 years.

People can't see scars, bruises and wounds on my face- but I feel the weight of that truck collission every time I wake up !

As I am coping with this new reality to come out as a warrior-

I'm writing this today with all the hope to educate the other 45% of folks that anxiety exists in many forms:

It can stem from:


1. Perceived slow #career growth.

2. Not making enough money.

3. Inability to manage work with personal relations.

4. Inability to give time for your own personal needs.

5. #Performance issues in toxic competitive environments.

6. Deadline pressure because of artificial busyness created by bosses.

There are more.



***

But know that your reasons for anxiety (or lack of them) can be extremely different from a stranger's.

Today, I lead an organization and team.

And hence if you are a team leader, I want to say don't extract value from them like a resource.

Treat your team like how you'd treat your brother and sister at home.

Treat and respect them like a human first.

Productivity is overrated.

#Success for you isn't about achieving things while your martyrs die.

It is about doing worthwhile things while happy soldiers live to celebrate with you.

That's the true yardstick of success ❤️.
