How to Deal with Stress at Work
"Happiness is not a matter of events, it depends upon the tides of the mind."
- Alice Meynell
When you are in a stressful work situation, it often arises because things are not meeting your expectations. It might be that you expect your co-workers to pull their own weight, but they are not and you are left doing everything. Perhaps you expect your boss to be supportive and available, but instead he doesn't know what projects you are working on and never takes the time to say, "thank you." Maybe you expect to only work 9-5, but you find yourself coming in early and staying late, just managing to get your work done.
So, what can you do? You can change your expectations. Not everyone will meet your expectations, especially if they don't know your expectations. You won't meet the expectations of everyone either. You might not even meet your expectations of yourself. Allow it to be okay for your expectations not to be met. It would be great if they were always met, but it's okay if they aren't.
Instead of getting upset or frustrated whenever your expectations aren't met, think about what you want to have happen - how you want the situation to be. Because your feelings can create your reality, if you focus on the things that bother you, you will only create more of them. By shifting your focus to how you want things to be, you begin to change the situation.
If your stress at work is due to a person, you can use the following technique. Begin by finding a place where you will be undisturbed. Think of the person causing you problems. See them as the kind of person who meets your expectations: someone who is honest, available, etc. Speak to them as if they are in the room with you. Speak from your heart as if they are already meeting your expectations. Feel what you are saying as if it were true. Tell them how grateful you are to work with them. Tell them everything that they do that meets your expectations and how well they do it. Thank them and thank yourself for changing your expectations.
Have a great day!
