The Best Way to Handle Crazy Ass Stressful Situations! {Podcast 73}

Some people feel that this is the most ANNOYING thing I can do – but it is the BEST stress reliever… in business when something falls through, when your reputation feels threatened, in travel when you think you’re going to miss a flight, when stuff happens in your personal life (your kids break something), or just in general, when shit happens, I say to myself:

“It is what it is. I can’t do anything about it.”

And it drives my husband CRAZY.

A week ago, my husband and kids were supposed to leave Bali – but they didn’t. They missed the flight because of the ginormous ash cloud. And all I could think was “it is what it is.”

There’s no point me losing stressing over “what if.” “What if we miss the flight?” “What if the flight gets cancelled again?”

In business, when I start to feel “what ifs,” coming – I say to myself “it is what it is.”

In ANY entrepreneur’s toolbox, it’s a CRITICAL tool to have in your toolbox. See sometimes, shit just happens regardless. And if you can accept whatever happens – it is what it is – and if you’ve done everything in your control, then just surrender.

Surrender and move on.

I speak to a lot who hyperventilate through their entire life: “what happens if this happens, what happens if someone says this?”

Just SURRENDER. It is what it is. Sometimes shit happens that’s beyond our control.

A lot of this comes down to recognizing the difference between knowing where you should spend your time, versus situations that are out of your control, versus situations where you just need to MAKE A DECISION.

• If you can’t make decisions quickly and swiftly, you shouldn’t be in business.
• Move quickly, with focus
• Surrender, and let it all flow
• It is what it is
• You have the power to choose who are

EXERCISE:
Think about the latest thing you’ve gone “what if” about. Did that what if come true? Or was it just your mind creating a fear? What decision could you have made instead of convincing yourself “what if”?
 
Now, think about something you have to make a decision on today. Make the decision. Move on.

Hi, I'm Katrina Ruth. Over the past nearly 2 decades I've been blessed to have brought through me a multiple 8-figure coaching brand online. I have a new ministry Katrina Ruth Ministries, and God has taken over the 'show' at the coaching business The Katrina Ruth Show.

I write, speak, create and share whatever He leads me to each day. Always Spirit-led.

I run programs and courses for faith-led entrepreneurs who desire to walk their true path of destiny in Him. And to see all that SHOULD be come to fruition in their business, wealth, relationships, stewardship of their spiritual and supernatural gifts and anointings - all of it.

I am a prolific creator and have created over 300 successful courses, workshops, and the like in my nearly 20 years online … and hundreds more which I would not term as so successful. These span all sorts of topics from traditional business, to all elements of online sales and marketing, to money mindset, fitness, and most of all / my favourite … the things which just come through and remind you of how to be YOU.

I learned a long time ago not to question whether it meant I am not 'doing something right' to keep creating.

I was born to let things through. It is like BREATH to me to do so.

Praise the Lord I get to now do it only in what is TRUE!
