Problem: Article: If your team members are as confused as you are, how will they know what to do? As the leader, you must do the research first, have the most information on a project, and know who to assign tasks to.  Do outside research on a topic or project so that when it’s time to lead your team you have all of the knowledge you need to answer questions and discuss ideas. Pay attention to your team. Listen to each member and pay attention to everyone’s individual strengths and skills. When doling out tasks and roles, you need to be able to give the right task to the right person. By learning everything you can about your team and the projects you are working on you can provide an authority and give your team the tools to be the most efficient. Even though leaders have to take things seriously, there is no reason you can't have fun. Just don't get too carried away. Balance the serious business at hand with regard for the morale and spirits of the team.  Sometimes, you might have a bad day. The same is true for everyone on your team. If a member is lost in a task or frustrated, this is your time to shine. Use your great personality and sense of humor to help your team member. Discuss what it is that’s causing stress and help your colleague with finding a solution. Helping your team is the fun part of the job. All the planning, handing out tasks, and making sure that everything is completed on time and to standards can get overwhelming. Enjoy the moments when you get to help someone with something. A demoralized team won't function. You must set the positive spirit, make the goals clear, show how the job is feasible and possible. No one will work for an impossible goal.  If morale is low, encourage an open conversation about why. It may be a larger within the company as a whole that you can’t quickly fix. At the very least you can come up with some creative ideas to help your team, even on a small level. Take walking meetings. No one likes sitting in a stuffy room discussing the nuts and bolts of a project. Being in motion gets the blood flowing and facilitates clarity resulting in great ideas. If you can, take your team on a walking meeting out of the office, or even just through it.  Play games as a reward or as a way to brainstorm. Or throw a ball around while you have a meeting to discuss goals. Set fun team goals and reward those goals. You may have certain project goals and department-wide goals that your team has to hit, but you can come up with your own too. Perhaps you set a goal that your team has to complete a portion of a project by a certain date. If the team succeeds you go get drinks after work on your dime, or you plan a field trip day somewhere that is fun but can also help the project. This won’t always be the case, but if you work in a more creative environment you may be able to take your team on an outing to foster bonding or research something that is relevant to your work. Address frustrations immediately. If you know someone is unhappy or upset, don’t wait until the situation escalates. Talk to that person and work on a solution together. This not only shows that you are paying attention, but that you care.
Summary: Know what you are talking about. Enjoy being a leader. Pay attention to morale.

Problem: Article: Medicine is not a cure-all for your panic attacks. Instead, one of the most common treatments is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), administered with the help of a mental health professional like a psychologist. CBT challenges your fear. It teaches you to replace your false, unfounded fears with more rational beliefs and to develop an inner voice to cope while the fight or flight response runs its course. When feeling panicked, your response with CBT should be reassuring: “I'm in no danger.” Talk to a professional. See what sort of treatment options are available for you. There are in fact a number of different approaches that can be taken separately or at the same time. Mindfulness is an acceptance strategy and form of CBT, addressing aspects of your emotional experience that can't be directly changed. As someone who suffers from panic attacks, you likely have feelings of anxiety, fear, doubt, and urges to escape. With mindfulness you will learn that there is no “off switch” for these feelings and that the attempt to control them will only increase your distress. Mindfulness teaches you strategies to live with the sensations, to soften and accept them while letting them run their course. Exposure therapy reverses our normal response to fears. Our natural reaction is to avoid anxiety-inducing situations. But while avoidance gives immediate relief, it is actually counter-productive and can ultimately worsen your fears or create mental paralysis. Exposure therapy will systematically confront you with your fears or whatever might be inducing your panic.  Most therapists do this slowly, in a graded fashion, so that high-level exposure is not attempted until you successfully face lower-levels. With each step, then, you will build up more emotional “muscle.”  The confrontation can be real (“in-vivo”) or simulated, where you are guided through an imaginary scenario. Once your brain learns that these feelings are not dangerous, it will stop triggering your panic. Exposure therapy has been found to be effective in treating anxiety disorders.
Summary: Talk to a mental health professional. Try practicing mindfulness. Try exposure therapy.

Problem: Article: Transporting the cat safely to the veterinary hospital requires that you minimize the motion of her head, neck, and spine. Any sudden movement of these body parts could make her injuries much worse.  If the cat has a fracture, do you best to provide extra support and stabilization to that injured area.  Placing the cat in a large box can also restrict her movement. Cut several holes in the box so you can see her. Place the box in the front passenger seat, or on the floor in front of that seat, to keep an eye on her. Although you should get the cat to a veterinary hospital as soon as possible, you will need to drive carefully. This is not the time to use your lead foot or throw on the brakes! Erratic driving would increase the cat's fear and bewilderment, and possibly make her injuries even worse. Depending on the severity of the cat's injuries, the veterinary team may need to perform extensive care to save her. After giving the team a brief history of the attack, let them go to work on diagnosing and treating the cat's injuries. Because of the emergency situation, they will make a quick assessment of the injuries, then work quickly to stabilize the cat (e.g., intravenous fluids, oxygen supplementation) and treat the most life-threatening injures.  Part of that initial assessment will be evaluating the cat's airway, breathing, circulation, and consciousness.  In addition to a full physical exam, your veterinarian will perform other diagnostics, such as bloodwork, urinalysis, and chest x-rays. Be aware that emergency veterinary care is expensive. After the cat has recovered enough to be released, you will need to continue treatment at home. Your veterinarian will likely recommend several treatments, including pain medication and antibiotics. You may also be responsible for changing bandages and checking wounds for signs of inflammation (e.g., redness, swelling) or infection (discharge).  You will also need to restrict the cat's activity and prevent her from jumping from furniture.  The specific type of at-home care will depend on the extent of the cat's injuries. Be sure you fully understand the at-home care instructions before taking the cat home.  You may need to schedule a follow-up appointment so the veterinarian can assess your cat's recovery.
Summary:
Minimize the cat's movement. Drive carefully. Allow the veterinary team to do its job. Follow treatment recommendations.
