1 Identify your stressors

The first step to managing your stress levels is to identify what triggers your stress and how it affects you. Stressors can be external, such as workload, deadlines, or conflicts, or internal, such as self-criticism, perfectionism, or unrealistic expectations. You can use a journal, a calendar, or an app to track your stressors and your reactions to them. This will help you gain insight into your stress patterns and identify areas where you can make changes.

Managing stress levels effectively is crucial for philanthropy professionals to maintain their well-being and continue making a positive impact. To do so, self-care is crucial. Activities such as exercise, meditation, and hobbies can help us manage stress. Another crucial aspect is setting boundaries. It is important to separate personal and professional life and understand that you need time to relax and fulfill yourself outside of work. In philanthropy, it is fundamental to remember that you need to help yourself in order to help others.

External stressors are cumulative, like listening to TV news, gossiping, bullying, politicians & religious people arguing instead of collaborating.

2 Prioritize and delegate

The second step to managing your stress levels is to prioritize and delegate your tasks according to their urgency and importance. You can use a matrix, a list, or a planner to organize your tasks and set realistic goals. You can also delegate some of your tasks to others who can help you, such as colleagues, partners, or volunteers. This will help you focus on the most critical and meaningful aspects of your work and reduce your workload.

True, however, realistically that sounds like a C-suite personal development retreat exercise. In my experience, busy parents, professionals must do that on the fly at warp speed. Generally a woman raised by very organized caregivers with helpful & encouraging living generations of family & friends are the best at recognizing priorities & taking timely action steps. We are most likely to jot down action step lists or just pick up our available communication devices to take positive action steps to deal with immediate needs and to be organized & prepared for an upcoming event where the team comes together to play their roles.

3 Take breaks and recharge

The third step to managing your stress levels is to take breaks and recharge your energy and creativity. You can use a timer, a reminder, or a schedule to plan regular breaks throughout your day and week. You can also use your breaks to do something that relaxes you, such as meditation, breathing exercises, stretching, reading, listening to music, or chatting with a friend. This will help you relieve your stress and improve your mood and productivity.

The more hobbies we try, the more we find the ones that fit well to relax & express ourselves while discovering our hidden talents & strengthening them. Hobbies often allow us to meet others that we have things in common with. Hobbies can strengthen our human connections of friendships and social support. That helps dissipate stress & improve our resiliency.

4 Seek support and feedback

The fourth step to managing your stress levels is to seek support and feedback from others who can understand and assist you. You can use a network, a group, or a mentor to connect with other philanthropy professionals who share your challenges and aspirations. You can also use a coach, a counselor, or a therapist to get professional guidance and advice on how to cope with stress and improve your well-being. This will help you learn from others' experiences and perspectives and get emotional and practical support.

5 Balance your personal and professional life

The fifth step to managing your stress levels is to balance your personal and professional life and make time for both. You can use a calendar, a tracker, or a boundary to set clear and flexible limits between your work and your personal life. You can also use a hobby, a passion, or a purpose to pursue something that enriches you outside of your work. This will help you maintain your identity and happiness and prevent your work from taking over your life.

6 Celebrate your achievements and impact

The sixth step to managing your stress levels is to celebrate your achievements and impact as a philanthropy professional. You can use a portfolio, a testimonial, or a recognition to document and showcase your accomplishments and contributions. You can also use a gratitude, a compliment, or a reward to appreciate yourself and others who helped you along the way. This will help you acknowledge your value and worth and boost your confidence and motivation.

Keeping a file, box, for placing those expressions of gratitude are useful to revisit when you are feeling overwhelmed or unappreciated. Most likely it will trigger a pleasant trip down Memory Lane and spark an idea to call someone who would most likely will also have their day brightened by hearing a pleasant memory, even if you just leave a quite message.

The gift of time and presence in person, voice, a letter, or note, doing a kind and helpful act is a wonderful form of philanthropy. Sharing with the intention of kindness & even anonymity is a stress reliever that boosts the thoughts-emotional-hormonal-behavioral function of the body-mind-spirit. Learning & practicing how to do that level of conscious attitude adjustments helps us to naturally become more merry & bright…and that brings joy to ourselves & those we interact with. It even helps program AI to help humans de-escalate stress & learn to become a higher functioning human.
