Everyone goes through high and low phases at work at some point of time or the other. But sometimes, work stress escalates to such a level that it tends to interfere with one's general well-being. This often affects the efficiency and productivity at work. Interpersonal relations are also likely to get troubled due to this.Some common issues faced at work include:
2. Changing perception Many aspects of workplace can be managed by changing one's perception or adjusting to an uncomfortable situation. When we begin a new job, we don't get tired by its infuriating aspects; it only happens a little later. This happens because in the beginning there is quite a lot to look forward to, and so the vexing bits become a small part of the bigger picture. With time, however, we lose perspective and hope along with it and feel arrested in the situation.3. Self-change methodSome common self-change questions and methods that one could use to change perspective at work are: 4. Reach out to supportive peopleFinding supportive people inside and outside the office and talking to them about your feelings can help you remain unruffled. Share your problems with them and take their opinion on the matter. Analyse for yourself the way forward.5. Opt for challenging tasksTo break out of the boredom, approach your superiors and request for challenging, stimulating project that you could work on, perhaps in addition to your current role. This will help break the monotony of regular work and expose you to something different that adds to your skills set. Learn new things to increase your employability and chances for promotion. 6. Repair emotional exhaustionTo repair your emotionalexhaustion, begin determinedly structuring social opportunities into your workflow. An easy way to start is by showing up five minutes early to meetings. Use this free time for light conversations and building your network. If you're a manager, try reigniting your team's motivation by giving day-to-day tasks more meaning and linking back to shared goals. Make your subordinates believe that their effort is helping the big-picture goals and the company's mission.Disclaimer:The opinions expressed within this article are the personal opinions of the author.
