In the work place, the amount of good things
that happen to a person during the day far out number the amount
of bad things that happen, so why do we spend so much time
stressing over the bad things when we should be smiling about
the good things.
One reason being, when something bad happens, such as being
berated by a customer, it shakes us up a little bit, maybe
our pride has been touched up a little. It plays on our mind
like a disease, and you can’t help but think about it,
and what you could have done differently to avoid the situation.
The bottom line here is, stressing over a minor, unpreventable
incident effects our productivity.
Here are a few ideas to help you get through your day with
a little less stress. And believe me, I understand that these
things are easier said than done, but they are worth some consideration.
1. When driving into work in the morning, picture yourself
in a positive light. See yourself meeting a new customer and
making a new sale, than establishing what has the potential
to become a relationship that blossoms into something bigger.
This shouldn’t be to hard considering you probably have
more than one success story to recall upon.
Block out any and all bad scenarios from the past. See yourself
as a winner, the person in charge.
2. When you leave the office, leave all of your problems and
worries at the door and forget about them. When you come back
the next day, they will be gone. Nine times out of ten, the
previous days problems are only there in your mind, so stop
thinking about them.
Every day is a new day with new potential, and you are a major
part of it, so see it for what it is. Every new day is a chance
for you to become more successful than you already are, don’t
look at it any other way.
3. Cut down on the caffeine
I know this one might be tough, but it does help considerably.
If you drink a lot of coffee, the caffeine isn’t helping
your nerves. So cut back or switch to decaf, or half regular
and half decaf. (That was my approach).
4. If you are having a particularly rough day, focus on something
positive that is going to happen in you near future. A happy
hour with friends or co-workers, something you have planned
for the weekend, your upcoming vacation, a holiday, anything
positive to assure you that there is life after whatever is
going on at the time.
Don’t worry about the things you can’t do anything
about!
So please, the next time the pressures of your work day start
to apply their weight upon your shoulders, think of the positive
things, it will make all the difference.
