A Golden Rule To Manage Job Or Workplace Stress |
|
|
|
Getting a job, involves lots of
stress.
Getting a job, without the stressful environment, is a
blessing.
Getting a job, with the type work profile that you
like, a cheerfully disposed staff, and the administration that
maintains the human relations at its best, is a boon!
You put in your best efforts, but everyone around you is
dissatisfied. The reasons are beyond your understanding. Your
fellow-workers are not happy with you; some of them do not hesitate
to taunt you. Your boss frowns at you for nothing. Your wife nags you
for your late arrival by 30 minutes from the office. Traveling
through public transport, leaving your kid to school, going to the
market in between hustle and bustle of office and home-what more is
required for you to say, ‘oh, this hellish life!
These
are some of the issues that contribute to your job workplace
stress.
If someone else is to be blamed for your stress, blame
yourself much more for giving that prominent place for the Satan of
stress. Throw him out lock, stock and barrel from your personality.
Take a firm stand. Yes, it is possible; it is achievable.
A
story goes thus: An educated youngster, fed up of his job workplace
stress, ran away to Himalayas. There he met a Yogi. The youngster
prostrated at his feet with all humility, and prayed that he wants to
stay at His hermitage, as he was fed up of the city life and the job
workplace stress.
Yogi’s reply was historic: Don’t runaway
to any Ashram; create an Ashram, where you
are!
What you need to to is to
analyze and understand your stress. Take out the negativities one by
one. Unburden the burden! Mind in itself, doesn’t have any
existence. It is supposed to be a bundle of thoughts. Take out the
thoughts, one by one and reduce the heavy load that you unnecessarily
carry on your head.
There was another young
man who wanted to take a bath in the sea. He stood at the seashore
all the time worrying- let these waves disappear from the ocean, then
I will take bath. Will that situation ever be possible? The message
to such an youngster would be- having gone for a sea bath, don’t be
afraid of the oncoming waves. Take your plunge!
With a
positive bent of mind it is possible to control and transcend job
workplace stress. Stick to your job, have patience and understanding!
Go placidly amidst the noise and din. Everything is happening, as it
should!
