Redirecting the Dopeness
As [somewhat] normal human beings, we fight daily battles to preserve our lives as well as our minds. We fight to...
Mental trauma interjects itself into your plan, beautifully unscheduled. It can range anywhere from mild depression to extreme chaos on the job. Whatever is ensuing personally begins to take an effect on your performance professionally. How so? Let's take a trip back to basics.
What is the perceived threat that's affecting how you work? Is it leaking into your office, food intake, and service to your customers or clients (WELCOA Letting Go of Stress). Is this stress tangible or invisible? Is it a temporary feeling of emotional discomfort or an extended, chronic problem that has you on the verge of screaming for fire with ice? Whatever the origin of the catalyst, the goal first and foremost is to tackle the monster before the rampage imbues. While this is not easy or an instant overnight remedy, your lively mode of operation could be at stake if not addressed to extent. Before the silent intruder appeared, you knew what type of person you are in your field.
On my journey to adulthood I think about the people who I have lost contact with, including the ones I have had to sever ties with. That 'circle,' which is large in quantity of friends and gradually shrinks overtime and focuses on qualities of friendships is no joke. Some people I simply fell out of communication with due to the hustle in life. Then there are some who I label emotional vampires. These are the ones who thank you for investing your time, energy, resources, research and advice on bettering them and only soak in 10% of your investment. Because of that energy you supplied them out of the simple goodness of your heart, you are left with only a desire to do what you need for yourself but are stuck in an ocean of depletion. The way people in society treat one another, I was convinced that having compassion was a crime. Anger fueled this temporary clouded perception. Then I remember the book of Proverbs, Psalms, Job, the prayer of Hannah and realize that there is a way out of this chaos we are dealing with.
Stress and tribulation won't be removed...right now anyway. My spiritual tools help me to deal with my challenges. I have this habit of keeping on the watch and redirecting myself as necessary. Though this is easier said than done, do some homework on yourself. Discover [or rediscover] the things that make you a happy human. Is it your favorite movie, candy bar, coconut water or cucumber water? When you have these things, house them in your self-care storage. Besides you've got a lot to do and you know what you are capable of. As much as we like to help, sometimes we need the help to.
- maintain spiritual enrichment of the self (and family)
