How To Develop Workplace Resilience


By Matthew Bennett


Regardless of what industry your job is in, one may experience an overwhelming amount of stress depending on the kind of environment they spend most of their time with. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy which can affect their overall productivity and self image. If you constantly feel these emotions, here are some tips to enhance your resilience in the workplace.

First, we need to understand what it means to be adaptable in work. Most people are under the impression that this is a quality that is simply found in a select few. This could not be further from the truth since inner strength requires an active process that requires time and effort to perfect. Like your skills, your ability to stay calm under pressure also requires constant practice.

With this in mind, here are a few suggestions on how to stay cool under pressure. One is to cherish your relationships. This refers to your support system which may include your close friends and family. In life, many of us undergo challenges which can be overwhelming and extremely stressful. During free time, consider sharing your frustrations to a close friend or confidante who knows how to cheer you up when you are feeling down.

Next, avoid interacting with people who put you down. People who always have something negative to say often do so because they are insecure with their own skills. This can affect the way a person assess their own worth as an employee which can have a lasting impact on their overall happiness. To avoid providing room to doubt, avoid hanging out with these people and focus on improving at your own pace.

One other tip to consider is reminding yourself of your professional achievements. Mistakes and being scolded can make one feel incompetent and talentless. To keep yourself from falling off into a downward spiral, remind yourself of your achievements that led you to this job position. While not obvious at the moment, your hard work will definitely pay off so long as you keep moving.

One other tip to remember is celebrating your success. There are both positive and negative experiences in a job. If a person focuses only on the negative outcomes then they will regard their job as a burden more than an opportunity to hone their craft. If you feel like you a stuck in a rut, remember the achievements that you have made as an employee to remind yourself that you are a valuable employee.

Next, develop a positive image of your identity. Persons with low esteem tend to label themselves as the cause of all of their problems. This is because they do not believe they are worthy or praise or recognition which can lead them to having a negative outlook in life. During these moments remind yourself that you are not worthless and you have value as a person who is more than just their job.

Last but not least is to practice optimism. This may seem like a painfully obvious suggestion but it does apply to every aspect of your life. Aside from work, viewing yourself as a valuable person in society allows you to focus on what your priorities should be. Additionally, optimists are most likely to survive their office environment because they can see the hidden opportunities it provides.

Certain instances that can affect the way a person thinks and feels about work. However, to keep things in perspective, one should remember to not value themselves based on their job title alone but also their contribution to the world as a single individual. If you think you need professional help in this field, consider contacting a psychologist to confront any deep seated issues you may have.
