Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is a popular American sitcom created by Saturday Night Live Veteran Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. The lead role is manned by Ellie Kemper. Kemper plays Kimmy Schmidt, a very enthusiastic person, who is living in New York.
People can learn from this character as she goes through everyday life looking at the brighter side of things. Which is why Business News has listed down some stress-management tips that can help career professionals and busy entrepreneurs minimize their negative vibes.
1. Use the resources you have - Kimmy Schmidt was never connected with technology. She didn't have that luxury because she was locked inside a bunker. So if you're new to your work or role then it could be hard for you if you're still adjusting. You may find it hard to figure everything out but if that was Kimmy, then she'd overcome this challenge by using her wit and whatever is available.
2. Make up a mantra - Kimmy got through her negative feelings by making her own mantra. Whenever she's sad, she would smile and jump even though she was locked away. At work, you can't really jump up and down but you can make a mantra. Repeating a comforting phrase can help you calm your nerves.
3. Take 10 seconds at a time - If you're stuck in a project, then you can get through it. If Kimmy can survive living in a bunker for 15 years, so could you. Kimmy suggests you take ten seconds. In one episode she said that a person can stand anything for ten seconds. Then just restart another ten seconds. This is good advice when you're feeling frustrated. Just take ten seconds to calm down and start again.
4. Looking for the good in the bad - Kimmy's positivity in the show is unbreakable. It comes from always looking at the bright side of things. Rather than focusing on negativity, she looks for the good. So if you face criticism at work, don't let yourself get in a slump. Look at things from a different angle and make something constructive out of that situation.
