Write it down, or type it out. Whatever works, just create a practice that holds both you and your vendors accountable. It’s easy to get confused, or refer to something that might be for another event! Here are my favorite ways to find my calm in the chaos. 1. Keep a low voice in the midst of the crazy. Let’s say you can’t resolve the issue, no matter how hard you try. Here are a couple of things I always think about: The title “chaos coordinator” is not just a phrase people put on shirts. Instead, it’s a job promotion from having little humans tearing through our house. Kids still think jumping from couch to couch is an acceptable form of exercise while stripped down to undies with kitchen tools in their hands. And it’s enough to send even the most even-keeled mama to a state of madness sometimes. As moms, we know that craziness is a part of our life. However, many of us don’t know how to stay calm during the chaos. Is it even possible?
When we are stressed, we want to yell. But that only makes us get tenser. Amid the chaos, a low and calm voice keeps us calm and forces our kids to be quiet to hear us. I love to say, “I can’t hear you when you’re yelling. You have to lower your volume.”Your calm voice will cause them to match yours. It’s an easy way to calm yourself and the kids simultaneously. And if you’re really desperate, offer a reward for the winner of the quiet game. 2. Create a quiet reset ritual.
I do not know the answer to that; however, what I do know whatever side you are on this fence, finding a licensed qualified therapist/psychologist can help you control your behavior and/or deal with someone in your life exhibiting this behavior. Also on this note, I’ve decided I don’t like the saying the customer is always right .Instead of saying this under my breath at given situations, I’m now saying to myself the customer is yours. For that time, for that day, that’swho your customer is. I need sleep and I need to be full. I usually carb up leading up to the event like I’m preparing for a marathon.I need to rest. I pull long hours for these events at least two weeks out before the festival. Crunch time is real. But I try to still be in my pj’s by 9:30, all electronics off.I wake up the same time every day, and perform my morning rituals. And remember it’s ok to say no. You may not win them over as a repeat customer, and that is ok.But try your hardest to make them smile, or laugh, or agree so that you can both move forward. Do not say yes to things that make your life more complicated out of guilt. Moms have trouble managing chaos when they allow more chaos to come their way. If having friends come and play creates unneeded stress, tell the neighbor kids you’re having a no-play day. It’s okay to say no to things that don’t work well for you. Sometimes we say yes because we think we need to be busy, but we forget we don’t need to be busy all of the time. So here is your permission to say no. 6. Breathe.
In my workplace, I often find myself faced with a multitude of challenges, some of which are anticipated and others that emerge from the depths of unpredictability. It's the latter category that often falls into my lap, and I've affectionately embraced the title of a "Chaos Coordinator" to describe my role in dealing with these unexpected hurdles. Innovation isn't just a buzzword – it's a core part of the job. A Chaos Coordinator thrives on solving problems in creative ways. It's about finding unconventional solutions and encouraging a culture of adaptability within the organisation. Every hurdle is an opportunity to do things better.The fire service is extremely diverse and has quite a cast of characters. We learn the art of “psychological warfare” early. use a mantra (suggested: “I will let go of the need to be needed/I will let go of the need to be accepted/I will let go of the need to be accomplished”) I think it is. Not in every single moment, but certainly as a whole. And it’s all about training ourselves to reset ourselves in small ways. How to Stay Calm as a Parent While Surrounded by Chaos Another hard fact: while I would prefer everyone text me their questions during an event, it doesn’t happen. I always have a vendor or two who want to talk on the phone, and I know it’s going to be either a long conversation or something we’ve previously discussed. I still humor the phone call, as I know they are going to keep calling.
Most every organization has one. You know – finding delight in stirring the pot and creating chaos. Not your typical workplace fun, but more to cause harm than good. Perhaps you have been one at some point in time? Make sure your team, hired help and volunteers have assignments and know your overall objectives for the event. They will be representing you all over the festival, and it’s important that they be knowledgeable about the event and the facility. get your hands and feet dirty (do some gardening, go for a walk on the beach, etc.). Obviously, there is no clinical research confirming that these strategies would help overcome “chaos addiction” but engaging in them certainly will not do anyone any harm. Our minds need to have a release for our adult tension to stay calm in kid tension. If you are not creating a time to exercise your body and feel stressed with kids, now is the time! It allows you to burn off agitation and stress and gets your endorphins and energy up. A stressed mom will do better in the chaos when moving too. I kid you not. If you need to hire a sitter to go on a long walk, it might be worth your money on a particularly chaotic day. 5. Say no. Once we've identified these challenges, effective communication is paramount. A "Chaos Coordinator" must be a bridge between departments, translating issues into solutions, and ensuring all stakeholders understand the problem and the path forward. It's about fostering collaboration and synergy.They need to hear music as the event begins, they want to see food on the table, they want the wine to be flowing, and they want the event gates or doors open early.Every detail doesn’t have to be perfect at this point.
