How To Deal With the Stress and Anxieties in the Entertainment Industry
By Stan Popovich
Stress and anxiety are very common in today’s
entertainment industry. As a result, here is a list of techniques that a person
can use to help manage the daily stresses and anxieties of their entertainment
industry profession.
Sometimes, we get stressed when everything happens all at
once. When this happens, a person should take a deep breath and try to find
something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off of the problem. A person
could take a walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper or do an activity
that will give them a fresh perspective on things.
When facing a current or upcoming task at your job
that overwhelms you with a lot of anxiety, divide the task into a series of
smaller steps and then complete each of the smaller tasks one at a time.
Completing these smaller tasks will make the stress more manageable and
increases your chances of success.
Challenge your negative thinking with positive statements
and realistic thinking. When encountering thoughts that make you fearful or
depressed, challenge those thoughts by asking yourself questions that will
maintain objectivity and common sense. For example, you are afraid that if you
do not get that job promotion then you will be stuck at your job forever. This
depresses you, however your thinking in this situation is unrealistic. The fact
of the matter is that there all are kinds of jobs available and just because you
don’t get this job promotion doesn’t mean that you will never get one. In
addition, people change jobs all the time, and you always have that option of
going elsewhere if you are unhappy at your present location.
Remember that no one can predict the future with one
hundred percent certainty. Even if the thing that you feared does happen there
are circumstances and factors that you can’t predict which can be used to your
advantage. For instance, you are at your place of work and you miss the deadline
for a project you have been working on for the last few months. Everything you
feared is coming true. Suddenly, your boss comes to your office and tells you
that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you the day before.
This unknown factor changes everything. Remember: We may be ninety-nine percent
correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that one percent to
make a world of difference.
In dealing with your anxieties at your entertainment job,
learn to take it one day at a time. While the consequences of a particular fear
may seem real, there are usually other factors that cannot be anticipated and
can affect the results of any situation. Get all of the facts of the situation
and use them to your advantage.
Our anxieties and stresses can be difficult to manage in
the entertainment industry. The more control you have over your stresses and
anxieties, the better off you will be in the long run.

and try to keep listing inspirational music
Stress and anxiety are the two common things is our society. When we are doing a thing or job we do not like or love, it can make us more stressful because we use a lot of energy just to do the job. Anything could happen to us, we cannot say that will not happen to us, but there would be time, if not the thing we predict, maybe it the effect is still the same.
