Five steps to weathering disappointments at work

Five steps to weathering disappointments at work

In every person’s career , there are moments when things don’t go according to plan and something truly disappointing happens. Perhaps you don’t get the promotion that you assumed was yours. Or you receive a surprisingly critical review when you thought you were a stellar performer.

Maybe your boss takes another job leaving you with a supervisor you can’t stand. Or you get caught in an inter-office dispute and get labeled The Bad Guy. Then there are those really big disappointments like sudden layoffs or re-locations .

When faced with these disappointments , it’s tempting to feel hurt, angry, betrayed, and disgusted. You may get depressed , feel deflated, and put your head in the sand. Or, you may react by mouthing off, erupting at others, stomping off in righteous indignation.

Either way, you take a nose-dive into emotionally dark territory. Rather than linger in those dark waters, we encourage you to take steps to recover from the disappointment, and pull yourself out of the emotional swamp. The following are five tips that you can follow to weather any stormy situation at work, and pull yourself out of the depths.

Get physical:

When something horrible happens to us, our bodies act like sponges and absorb the pain. Part of pulling yourself out of the depths involves tending to your physical well being so that your body can release the sadness, anger, frustration and pain that it took as a result of the bad incident. Getting physical can include working out on a regular basis, getting massages, taking baths and going outside for walks in nature . Find ways for your body to release the toxins and bring you back to a healthier state.

Find Safe Harbours:

Safe harbours are the people and places where you don’t have to put on your game face and where you can get emotional support to move forward. When you crash and burn — whether you’ve lost a job, ended a relationship or suffered a catastrophe — you’ll get out of the depths faster if you turn to harbours to buoy you up until you can float on your own

Throw away the crutches:

There’s no situation so bad that excess drinking, drugging or eating won’t make worse.

When we’re in emotional pain, it’s tempting to turn to drugs, alcohol, chocolate , ice cream, donuts, and other substances for escape. The problem is that those substances make you feel good in the short run and worse in the long run. What is your drug of choice? If you know what it is, avoid it when you’re in the depths. Most substances used in excess are depressants and take us deeper into the hole rather than pulling us out.

Keep your eye on the prize and don’t victimise:

Bad things do happen to good people. In fact, they are often tough lessons on the road to our greatest successes. When you experience some kind of career disappointment or business disaster, it’s easy to think, “Why me?” To pull yourself out of the depths, re-focus on your initial goal before anything bad happened: Did you want to do work that you love? Do you want great financial success? Would you like to influence others or contribute to society in some way? Re-focus on the goals that you are truly passionate about and take small steps everyday to get there.

Fake it until you make it:

You may not feel like getting up in the morning. You may not feel like getting dressed and going to work. Recovering from workplace disappointments requires a certain amount of faking it until you make it — acting as if you are okay and heading towards greater things. Dress as if you care about yourself, talk as if you believe in your future, and put yourself in the company of people who see you in the same light.

A Moral lesson to one and all - My First Post

It was a sports stadium.
Eight Children were standing on the track to participate in the
running event.
* Ready! * Steady! * Bang!!!
With the sound of Toy pistol, all eight girls started running.
Hardly have they covered ten to fifteen steps, one of the smaller
girls slipped and fell down, due to bruises and pain she started
crying.
When other seven girls heard this sound, stopped running, stood for a
while and turned back , they all ran back to the place where the girl
fell down.
One among them bent, picked and kissed the girl gently and enquired
'Now pain must have reduced' . All seven girls lifted the fallen
girl , pacified her, two of them held the girl firmly and they all
seven joined hands together and walked together and reached the
winning post.
Officials were shocked. Clapping of thousands of spectators filled
the stadium. Many eyes were filled with tears and perhaps it had
reached the GOD even!
YES. This happened in Hyderabad [INDIA], recently!
The sport was conducted by National Institute of Mental Health.
All these special girls had come to participate in this event and
they are spastic children.
Yes, they were mentally retarded Challenged ..
What did they teach this world?
Teamwork?
Humanity?
Equality among all?????
Successful people help others who are slow in learning so that they
are not felt far behind. This is really a great message... spread it!
We can't do this ever because we have brains!!!!!! !!!
Its Always Love

Well I have to find one pic in my laptop. But guys do you think this blog will be active, I hope it will be active but less chances. Anyhow new thoughts, new ways lets try the best.

We need to gather people atleast through mails and get their participation. there are many faces hidden (busy with work & family), try to get them and make them participate.

One more thought - Suresh or Adhi or someone, can you create a community in Orkut name VYSYAMCA2003 and send an invitation to all our friends.
