Leave Stress in the Office
Say some of the following to yourself as often as necessary and take action to make it happen.
- Solid boundaries are very important. Whether it’s working from home a virtual or bricks and mortar work place, treat them both the same. And imagine the following
- I leave work stress in the office at quitting time. I get to spend time with friends and family/ doing something I love.
- I am paid only for X number of hours per week. I am paid to talk, cooperate and do my best for that amount of time only. I had a client who had problem colleagues. Who tried to keep in touch with her when she moved on? Her thinking was, “Nope, I’m not paid to talk to you anymore.” Talk about strong boundaries, especially considering the norm that women should be “nice”.
- I may be proud of my job/ career but I do it to support my family and lifestyle. This perspective allows me to focus on what is really important. They are the reason I make the decisions I do and we deserve a happy life.
- Worrying about office stress never solved anything. Time out spent distracting or enjoying myself stops me overthinking about work or even hinking about work at all. I recognize that I have the power to choose where I focus my attention
Leave Stress in the Office
- My family deserves my undivided attention. My kids deserve to have me present at every soccer game. My spouse is entitled to spending quality time with me each evening.
- My personal time is time for me to unwind and enjoy myself. Letting me be there for my friends and family.
- When quitting time comes for the day, I am not contactable by work phone or work email. I’ll give myself and my family my full attention and not try to get a jump start on tomorrow.
