How to be Mentally Capable at Work8 Years AgoThe
benefits are good, the company is stable, the workload is challenging but not
something you can’t handle, the people you are working with are professionals.
There shouldn’t be a problem. Yet, you seem to be depressed than ever.
Work,
as we all know and recognize can be redundant and stressful. Not only is it
physically taxing but it can also affect our mental, physiological and emotional
capabilities as well.
According
to reviews, 70% of employees resign from work because it can be
mentally draining. Employees do not recognize this. Pressures and stress from
the task itself and the environmental factors may be pinpointed as the main
culprit but if we delve deeper to the root cause of the real problem, it will
lead us to the fact that our minds and mental health is incapable of handling
the issues. Far from what people know, mental incapability at work can also be
as fatal and can sometimes lead to insanity.
To
live a better working experience and be able to prolong the days in your work, Westhill
Consulting and Employment, one of the longest running career and personality development
adviser, prepared these tips to be mentally capable and be able to digest the everyday
scenario in your work: 1.
Use
Your Mental Energy for a Good Cause Some people tend to
stoop around and be concerned with everything that does not even matter. Don’t
dwell on unimportant things like gossip, complaints or heresies and get
yourself sidetracked by these distractions. Focus instead on circumstances and
information which can boost your mind’s productivity. 2.
Be
Optimistic Negative thoughts are
far too deadly than we recognize. Mentally strong people never let these
thoughts drag them down. Instead of agreeing with pessimistic predictions and criticisms,
have a positive inner dialogue to drown those thoughts. It is best to talk to
some people you trust and let it all out than dwell on it by yourself. 3.
Tolerate
Challenges Sometimes, the
challenges that come can be too overwhelming but always remember that these
challenges will not be thrown at you if you can’t handle it”, says Jared Trovenski,
CEO of Turf Finances operating in Jakarta, Indonesia. While other people
try to avoid tough hindrances, try to face it head on. Mentally strong people
tolerate discomfort and do not nurse their fears as long as it serves a better
purpose. 4.
Be
a Little Narcissist Although we cannot
avoid comparing ourselves to others every now and then, this can grow as a bad
habit. Because of all of these comparisons, we tend to get insecure. Instead of
always thinking of beating your competitors, try to ask yourself, “Did I do well?” |
