When men work hard in the workplace, they will face many workplace pressures. It is advisable to learn the following "Eight Step Chess", which can definitely turn pressure into motivation and eliminate pressure from invisibility. Let's take a look together.
Step 1: Spiritual Transcendence - Values and Life Orientation
The self's life value and role positioning, the setting of main goals in life, and so on, are simply stated as: what kind of person you are prepared to be, and what goals you are prepared to achieve in life. These seemingly unrelated things actually have a huge impact on us, and reflection on many pressures often boils down to this aspect. Carnegie said, "I very much believe that this is one of the greatest secrets of achieving psychological calm - the need for correct values. And I also believe that as long as we can set a personal standard - that is, what kind of things are worth compared to our lives, 50% of our worries can be immediately eliminated."
Step 2: Psychological Adjustment - Embrace Stress with a Positive and Optimistic Attitude
The French writer Hugo once said, "Thought can make heaven into hell, and it can also make hell into heaven."
"We need to recognize that a crisis is a turning point, which can lead to difficulties and pressure. On the one hand, it may be due to insufficient abilities. Therefore, the entire problem handling process becomes an important opportunity to enhance our abilities and develop and grow."; In addition, it may be due to environmental or other factors, which can be solved through rational communication. If it cannot be solved, it is also possible to forgive everything and try to face everything with a positive and optimistic attitude. As someone has studied the so-called optimism coefficient, which means that a person often maintains a positive optimism and has a 20% greater chance of achieving satisfactory results than the average person when dealing with problems. Therefore, a positive and optimistic attitude not only calms the disordered emotions caused by stress, but also more effectively leads to positive results.
Step 3: Rational Reflection - Self reflection and Stress Diary
Rational reflection, active self dialogue and reflection. For an aggressive person, the idea of asking yourself, "What if I didn't make it?" when facing pressure is not an excuse, but an effective way to relieve stress. However, if your personality tends to be more prone to avoidance, you should ask yourself to face pressure with a more positive attitude and tell yourself that moderate stress can help you grow.
At the same time, keeping a stress diary is also a simple and effective method of rational reflection. It can help you determine what stimuli are causing stress, and by examining your diary, you can discover how you cope with stress.
Step 4: Establish a balance - leave room for rest and don't bring work pressure home
Step 5, Time Management - The key is not to let your arrangements dictate you, you have to arrange your own affairs
Step 6: Strengthen communication - don't try to take all the pressure on yourself
Actively improve interpersonal relationships at ordinary times, especially strengthen communication with superiors, colleagues, and subordinates. Always remember to seek the assistance of your supervisor when under excessive pressure, and do not attempt to take on all the pressure alone. At the same time, when pressure comes, you can also take the initiative to seek psychological assistance, such as talking to family and friends, conducting psychological counseling, and other ways to actively respond.
Step 7: Improve Your Ability - The most direct and effective way to relieve stress is to improve your own abilities
Since the source of stress is one's own lack of familiarity and uncertainty with things, or one's inability to achieve goals, the most direct and effective way to relieve stress is to understand and master the situation, and try to improve one's own abilities. Through self study, training, and other means, once you "know", "become familiar", and "understand", stress will naturally be reduced and eliminated, indicating that stress is not a terrible thing. The reason why escape cannot relieve pressure is because its own ability has not improved, making the existing pressure still exist and its intensity has not weakened.
Step 8: Live Today - Concentrate all your wisdom and enthusiasm and do your work perfectly today
Stress, in fact, has the same trait, which is manifested prominently in anxiety and worry about tomorrow and the future. To cope with stress, the first thing we should do is not to look forward to the distant future, but to do the clear things at hand, because the best way to prepare for tomorrow is to focus all your wisdom and enthusiasm and do your work perfectly today.
