As a successful media baron, his methods offer simple and practical ways to handle stress. Here are five crucial stress management lessons inspired by Dr Chandra and other successful business tycoons. 

General Start the day with a clear mind

Many famous leaders begin their morning with a calming routine. Some spend a few minutes in silence, while others read or write in their journals. This quiet time early in the morning helps them plan their day with a refreshed mind. It gives them a sense of control before the hustle and bustle begins. Spend a few minutes sitting down or writing down some tasks. This helps relieve morning stress and sets the right tone for the day.

General Prioritise What Truly Matters

Business tycoons have numerous responsibilities, but they focus only on the tasks that bring real results. They understand that it is not possible to do everything simultaneously. They decide what should be done first and attend to that peacefully. This is a mere concept that works in both home and work life. When you feel overloaded, enumerate your work priorities. Do the largest ones first. It prevents you from feeling scattered and makes you feel more confident.

General Stay Physically Active

Frequent moving is evident among most of the best leaders. Some walk every day, and those who go to the gym or engage in sports. Exercising allows the mind to refresh itself and eliminate stress in the body. It does not require a heavy workout. A walk, even a stretch or light exercise, can be beneficial. Exercise helps you think more clearly, and can also help you relieve pressure.

General Take Breaks to Recharge

High-profile media barons are frequently seen talking of taking a break between good meetings. These little breaks help them clear their mind and come back with a fresh mind. Constant labour may be tiring and stressful. You can use this little maxim if you can stick to it daily. Spend a few minutes away from your screen, use water or take a slow breath. Rest is beneficial, as it preserves your energy and enhances your productivity.

General Build a Strong Support System

A successful leader has a group of colleagues, friends or mentors behind them. Their exchange of ideas, discussion of problems and lessening of mental burden. It is easy to cope with stress when there are other people to count on. You can create by yourself, as you can keep in touch with friends or communicate freely with your family. The expression of thoughts eases concern and provides a new outlook.
