stress at work

i care about you and your problems. I dont have any answers but you could try positive affirmations.

affirmations are helping a lot at work. i will continue with that. this week went smoothly. last week was sketchy, understaffed, some occupational hazards made many of my co-workers nervous. still we pull it together. emotions run high on the holidays. gratitude helps. management changes causing awkwardness. some of us miss the old manager. patience will help with that. just want to post and say things are ok this week. next week will have new challenges. a challenge is a risk. i like my job enough to take a risk and show up monday. once january comes stress levels should drop some. thanks for being there.

a good affirmation for this would be to say

"I am safe, I am loved, I let go of stress and I enjoy my life more"

I know the feeling. Good luck.

every day there is stress. i learn every day. what good can come from a difficult day? what did i learn? I have a challenge. I have gratitude that a co-worker gives me guidance. Some lessons are hard. I am flexible. i listen to the tone of my co-worker and understand their intention to focus on work. I have a hard job to do. I am nervous by nature. I am articulate. I think I can do a smart job tomorrow. I will focus on goals and bring about improvement. I feel empowered at work. I will not lose sleep worrying about one particular challenge at work. I will fall asleep content, knowing I did a great job today and I will do a brilliant job tomorrow. Thank you uncommon knowledge for reminding me to be safe, happy, healthy, and content.

Here's a video to help you to let go of fear.

thanks for the video. i like the glass of water idea. I have a new manager. I can use the glass of water idea any time a fear comes up about the manager. Another idea I like to meditate with is the idea of the "self object". Ilene Philipsen phd. talks about it in her book, "married to the job". by directing "fearful thoughts about managers" towards an idea of the "self object" I can see how I may envy mangers. Now I can put words to feelings and understand that the power my managers have is really not worth wanting. I do not want power, to rule over all in my workplace. What I can express is the impulse to want to rule over who you must obey. Now that I can see that non-volitional thought come into being, I can let it go as if it is just a cloud in the sky of mind, and smile. Is that smart?

Envy can never bring happiness and happiness is all that you would really like.

Letting negative thoughts go as if they are just clouds in the sky of the mind and smiling is smart and healthy.

Enjoy having power over your own life, this is true leadership, set a great example of how to be yourself.

everything went great before the holiday. then at the end of the shift there was an argument over communication. there was a threat of disciplinary action based on what the manager believed was a mistake. there was an argument over whether a mistake was made or not. I am myself. I almost made a mistake. I used a technique to avoid the mistake. the managers argument is that even though you did the right thing in the end, part of what you did may deserve punishment. It feels a lot like micro-managing. I don't understand how I can work so hard all week and with one word a manager can make me feel so worthless. I forget one detail and the manger uses some big word which fills me with fear. If it's not fear its anger. I can choose to be myself. What good came from the misunderstanding? why is there still fear hanging over me? Its an emotional time of year. I know there are more steps to avoid mistakes. I communicated that. that was smart. i want to my best, wherever I work. the manager was more cheerful and said lets not argue at the end of the shift. that was closure and i went home tired but not upset. this blog really helps vent feelings of confusion and anxiety. Dr. Liebgold in "freedom from fear" suggests writing a long story about a worst case scenario. then i listen to it for an hour a day. it takes the fear out of everything. afraid a manager will fire over an employee forgetting a receipt? that's nothing compared to the fears i can imagine in my own mind about sufferings that could be inflicted on me. to be myself is to understand my own fears and to work to eliminate them. It all starts from within.

You are safe, you are loved, forgiveness will set you free.

Have you not any way to reduce your stress at work ? you should try your best.

If you're not happy you should look for another job. That's what I'd say.

me too, facing that kind of stress at work.

To manage stress in the workplace, there are so many things to do. You can join any stress management program. Yoga and other laughter exercises help a lot in terms of dealing with stress. There are so many motivational speakers who speak about stress management in the workplace. Recently I have read an article of Jody Urquhart- motivational speaker, she has explained the things so nicely and I really get inspired from her.
