Resilience Part 3: Stress at work_1

 


Stress produces us a monster reaction to feeling overwhelmed: the feeling of having more to do than you have the time or resources in which to do it.

Feeling stressed can affect our personal resilience because we feel that we have so much going on, so much to juggle. 

How do we manage it? If you might feel stressed or under pressure more often than you’d like to, maybe you need to stop and take notes. When you are stressed your body tempt to goes up, you might start to feel a bit sweaty, your hands sweaty you are feeling like that fight of flight start happening because the adrenaline is slowing and you don’t want to feel like this for much longer. Maybe, make a note when these things happening and analyze why am I in this situation, what’s the reaction, what was the cause, where is our starting, …

If you take notes of it then you can start reflecting when you not feeling stress and analyze where it could be and finally find healthy responses to it and time to recharge including things like exercise and go for a walk outside to clear your head and have a look at this guide and think about: what’s causing this? What am I doing? What do I want for life? Why am I in this situation? Because remember: you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.

If you don’t think you can change what’s around you maybe there is another role out there where things would be a lot more you’d like, a lot better. It’s good keeping training and developing so if we’ve got a back option in a back pocket, everyone to walk away we can do something else.

Some people stick in things because they feel they’ve got no option and they carry on doing something for the rest of their lives they don’t enjoy because they think they can’t do something else.

So, plan for the future and think about what would I like to do or which is a good day for me at work can I get to it, if not, can I influence in it if not do I need to step away from it. Get the calm in a controlled way, not down tools. Go home and tell your boss what you think and tomorrow when you feel rational you might make a phone call and ask if you want to keep your job after all.

Start taking care of things and establish boundaries and create limits for yourself so you don’t have pressures.

  Self-reflection on my way on the Radar Programme          I have used the Gibbs' Reflective Cycle technique to do some self-reflection and analysis of my time on the Radar Program this year.   v Description A year ago, in October 2019, I was sent an email informing me that the one-year Radar Programme would be launched, consisting of a talent search, learning, skills development, monthly webinars of experts on the topic of the month, activities, awards, and much more, for Fujitsu employees across Europe. To be nominated, you had to have at least 3 of the 6 ingredients in their Secret Sauce: - Customer Empathy - Thrives in Constant Change and Responsibility - Self-Awareness - Open & Global Mind Set - Unbounded Curiosity - Technically Gifted   At that time I thought I had 5 of the 6 ingredients, the only one that in my view did not meet was "Technically gifted", and that, although my level of English is not very high, it would help me to p

  How to use feedback constructively How often does your boss give team members feedback on their performance, only to find out later that nothing has changed? Does he take it for granted that he has given the indications clearly and directly? However, does it sometimes seem that the message is simply not received well or at all? The Feedback Matrix is a tool that encourages you to examine both the positive and negative aspects of feedback.

Usually, these responses are: - They accept the negative part of the feedback but try to excuse themselves or blame others for the problem. - They focus on the positive part and use it to reinforce what they already knew to be true. This reaction can sometimes be because they sh
