A Mental Health Awareness Reflection from Alpha Lambda Zeta Fraternity Inc

Let’s be real—work stress is everywhere. Whether you’re clocking into a 9 to 5 juggling contracts or running your own business the pressure to meet expectations and keep going can build fast and silently wear us down.

In the video Frat Prominent from Alpha’s Distinguished Gentlewomyn – Fall ’07 offers insight into managing that pressure with clarity and confidence especially as a business owner in a high demand world.

“The best way I handle stress is making sure I prioritize what’s most important and delegate when needed.”

🔑 What’s In Your Control?

Work stress often comes from trying to do it all. But Frat Prominent reminds us that not everything deserves your energy.

When we learn to distinguish between what we can control and what we can’t we begin to take our power back. Delegation is not weakness it’s wisdom. Boundaries are not barriers they’re protection.

“Stress is not productive. It does no one good especially myself.”

💼 Mental Health Is Professionalism

Part of emotional maturity at work means knowing when to pause when to ask for help and when to let go. Mental clarity and calm don’t make you less committed they make you more effective.

Here’s what Frat Prominent models that we can all learn from

Prioritize daily Not everything is urgent
Delegate with trust You don’t have to carry everything
Stay centered Remind yourself what truly matters
Release the rest Not all battles are yours to fight.

Whether you’re leading a team starting your own business or surviving a stressful workplace you deserve to show up whole not burned out.
