It is our job to build resilience in your workplace. That means personal resilience and emotional resilience to the stresses, strains and changes involved with any job. Resilience builds a better workforce – enabling your employees to enjoy their role and rise to the challenge of the job, which in turn boosts productivity across your organisation.
Improve your ability to handle life’s hurdles and hardships, bounce back better from setbacks, adapt better to change, and manage stress more effectively.
Emotionally-driven thoughts can be unrealistic and inaccurate. They can have a serious impact on your mood, your confidence, and your effectiveness at work.
Learn to challenge these thoughts and come up with more realistic perspectives. Some questions to ask yourself are: ‘What evidence do I have that might prove this thought to be true/false’ and ‘Is there another way of looking at this’.
Is your life controlled by you or by forces outside yourself? Those with an internal locus of control feel that they have choice in their lives and control over their circumstances.
They tend to feel happier, less stressed and are more satisfied with life in general. Those with an external locus of control feel more at the mercy of external events. They tend to be more susceptible to depression as well as other health problems.
Focus your efforts on the things in life that you have control or influence over instead of perplexing over things that you don’t.
It is instilled in most of us from a young age to concentrate a lot of our energy on tackling our weaknesses. And the likely problem with this is? Well, we may just become average at all that we do as the time we are spending concentrating on our weaknesses is taking us away from perfecting our strengths. When we focus on building our strengths that’s when we do and achieve exceptional things – when the magic happens!!!
Make new connections and develop existing ones. Remember that you don’t have to cope with challenging times alone. Sometimes just telling the people close to you how you’re feeling can make a big difference – and they might be able to help you out in other ways too.
There are some general changes that you can make to your lifestyle that could help you feel more able to cope with pressure and stressful situations. Be more physically active, get good sleep, eat healthily, use relaxation techniques, enjoy the outdoors and treat yourself like your best friend.
