Managing people- managing yourself first. 03/12/2012
Most people seem to have no problem-managing people. They learn this from college classes, management workshops or on the job experiences. You know how to be diplomatic, co-operative and insightful to the needs of the people you must lead. However, you fall short of the skills in how to manage yourself. Your stress levels are very high and your self-confidence is quite low. The old phrase “do as I say not as I do” holds true here. You tend to stress out because you want to appear perfect in the sight of others, but you just cannot seem to get yourself managed were you feel comfortable. Probably you get to work hour’s earlier then other people and leave later or even bring work home. Yet, you want to give the impression that you have great time management skills. You also want to give the impression that you are accessible, while actually you are rushed and not present for people. This all stems from your inability to manage yourself. Stress adds to this inability. Once you allow yourself to be, open to the opportunities to de-stress and self-nurture by using natural solutions your self-management increases and your ability to manage others will be much more effective. I have an easy and proven 24-hour stress plan that will help you. Check it out in my products section of this web page.!! Add Comment Stress-Tolerating work while at work 02/27/2012
Most people who work an 8-5 job tolerate their job. While it is true that the paycheck is most important, the stress that is associated with the job is so high that the emotional pain is rarely compensated by the paycheck. The “politics” or discontentment that the job generates adds to the stress. The only recourse people have is to tolerate their work place and the work itself. They have an unspoken attitude of clock in at exactly 8 am and clock out exactly 5pm, no more no less. Their favorite phrase for all the tolerating is “at least I have a job”, and they leave it at that. There is no incentive or purpose in their work. This of course adds to the stress. My advice is to enjoy your job. Do the best you can by doing you best. Keep you options always open, and update your resume monthly. Take the time to learn new things even if you think they will not be used or encouraged at your present job. Adding new skills to your resume makes you marketable, no matter what the job market looks like. Some people have even considered the alternative of going into business for themselves and became quite successful. These ideas will spark enthusiasm and decrease stress. As ordinary people, we know we are living busy! If you slow down enough to ask yourself why, you may not like the answers. Are you just doing busy work? The equivalent of moving one pile of dirt to another spot? Are you procrastinating and afraid of getting something done because you have a fear associated with that something? Are you justifying something to someone? As in “ see I’m too busy to commit to a project or event". Are you trying to control an issue, situation or someone? Are you afraid of succeeding and are you allowing yourself to sabotage your success. I point out these questions as ideas for you to ponder and think about. Now you have a point of reference, so you can address the problem or problems you might have. Once you “see” the problem you can start to resolve it.

We always discount our anxiety as okay ' goes with the job', where we live, the way we were brought up, all these remembrances. We all have ideas, reasons, coping mechanisms and just because: Because I'm fat. Because I'm tall. Because I have big feet. Because I'm uncoordinated. Because I'm too young. Because I'm too old. The list goes on and on! These reasons and because are excuses plain and simple. We create excuses to avoid confrontation. We create excuses to justify not doing something. But we feel anxiety and stressful doing this. The core truth, we think it will be 'easier' not to do something or say something. The other side of the anxiety coin is we will say yes, Yes to almost everything. It's 'easier' than to confront or stand up to someone or project our true views or desires. Okay, so why do we think it is 'easier'? Reprogramming your Anxiety is easy once you know how! |
