How to Stay in Control During Crisis?

In a time of crisis, one of the fundamental things a leader must focus on is to let go of the "victim mindset" to stay in the control.

The human mind is conditioned with beliefs that can create an illusion of a lack of power and control. Most of us are constantly trapped into this and these learned patterns can be hard to reverse. These patterns become more prominent when we are actually hit by a real crisis, such as the one world is facing. 

The victim mindset is usually about holding somebody else responsible for the situation while staying focused on what is missing. With the victim mindset, one is constantly pursuing something while also convinced that it is unreachable. 

“Something outside of me is creating and determining my destiny.”

“I am always trying and struggling to make things better.”

So, if you find yourself repeatedly saying the statements such as above, it is time to become aware and replace them with:

“I am ready to fully participate with an open mind.”

“Life is on my side with abundance to offer.”

“Trust the power of creativity & imagination.”

To be a successful leader, especially in a crisis situation like today’s, realizing that crisis also has the potential to take humanity on a path to transformation is essential. The ability to manifest and communicate the expansion of the paradigm that this crisis may offer is going to determine who will eventually lead us into the future.

May that be each one of us.
