Deadlines. Expectations. Chaos. 😰 These 10 tools and concepts help you stay calm, think clearly, and deliver your best—even when the pressure’s intense. 🎯🔥

4. Reframe Pressure as a Privilege
✅ Trick: Say “This means I’m trusted with something important.”

💡 Why: Cuts noise, boosts confidence, and reduces time waste.
7. Talk to Yourself Like a Coach
✅ Phrase: “You’ve done hard things before. You can do this too.”
💡 Why: Self-talk changes performance, not just feelings.
8. Use “Worst-Case Scenario” Grounding
✅ Trick: Ask “What’s the actual worst that happens?” and “Can I handle that?”
💡 Why: Reality usually feels less scary than your mind’s exaggeration.
9. Hydrate + Move Your Body
✅ Tool: A quick walk or hydration break
