352: The Secret To Feeling Grounded In Uncertain Times Whether You Are Starting A Business Or Side Hustle, A Solopreneur, Entrepreneur, Mompreneur, Freelancer, Bookkeeper, Virtual Assistant, Business Owner, Or Self-Employed
Have you ever had one of those weeks where it feels like everything is happening “to” you? It could be clients emailing you nonstop, deadlines stacking up, and one unexpected situation after another leaving you feeling like you don’t have any control in your life? If you’re anything like most of the accountants and high-stress professionals I work with, you crave structure. You like knowing what’s coming next. You thrive when you have a plan, and let’s be honest, you’d probably rather be the one in control of everything. But there are so many things in life that you can’t control. And when we keep trying to manage what’s out of our hands, we end up exhausted, frustrated, and mentally drained, all while losing focus on the things that actually are within our control. So today, we’re going to talk about something that changes everything when you truly understand it. The secret to feeling grounded when you feel like life is completely out of control, or in uncertain times. I’ll walk you through what it looks like to experience this transformation so you can start feeling that sense of calm confidence in your own life, too. Let’s dive in…

Show Notes:
Hey there, I’m Chris Panek, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Coach, and the host of the Mastering Your Small Business Finances Podcast, and I want to welcome you to this new series I’m doing on this podcast. My intention is to drop one of these additional episodes every Monday while I continue to provide you with the regular Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast episodes, which will continue to help you take control of and understand your business finances with topics that ultimately impact your bottom line. I have many business owners, accountants, and other high-stress professionals who listen to this podcast, and I want to get more help out there for individuals like you when it comes to mastering your mindset. I’ll be taking a few moments each week to touch on topics that many high-stress professionals are dealing with and provide solutions to help you increase your overall well-being. Because I know your time is valuable, just like the Mastering Your Small Business Finances podcast, my goal is to keep these episodes short and straight to the point but full of useful information to help you succeed in not only your professional life but your personal life as well.
Have you ever had one of those weeks where it feels like everything is happening “to” you? It could be clients emailing you nonstop, deadlines stacking up, and one unexpected situation after another leaving you feeling like you don’t have any control in your life? If you’re anything like most of the accountants and high-stress professionals I work with, you crave structure. You like knowing what’s coming next. You thrive when you have a plan, and let’s be honest, you’d probably rather be the one in control of everything. But there are so many things in life that you can’t control. And when we keep trying to manage what’s out of our hands, we end up exhausted, frustrated, and mentally drained, all while losing focus on the things that actually are within our control. So today, we’re going to talk about something that changes everything when you truly understand it. The secret to feeling grounded when you feel like life is completely out of control, or in uncertain times. I’ll walk you through what it looks like to experience this transformation so you can start feeling that sense of calm confidence in your own life, too. Let’s dive in…
Let’s start with why we crave to be in control, because the desire for control isn’t a bad thing. It’s actually deeply part of our human nature. Our brains are wired to seek certainty. We like predictability because it helps us feel safe. But what happens when life doesn’t cooperate? When the numbers don’t balance, the staff calls out sick, your computer crashes right before a client meeting, or your teenager suddenly needs you right now in the middle of tax season? If you’re like most of my clients, your brain immediately starts thinking thoughts like, “This shouldn’t be happening.” “I can’t believe this.” “Why can’t people just do what they’re supposed to?” Or, “I don’t have time for this.” Those thoughts feel so justified in the moment, but notice what they actually create: stress, anxiety, irritation, and helplessness. It’s not the situation that’s stealing your sense of control. It’s your thoughts about it. And that’s exactly where you can start making changes today. Not in controlling the circumstance, but in controlling your response to it.
If this topic resonates with you, don’t wait; the rest of this episode is waiting for you inside my free private podcast, Mastering Your Mindset Moments.
