The Bottom Line breathe in, breathe out! for a calmer me!
How exactly do you become a calmer person? It's not actually easy. With so many activities and lifestyle on the fast track, people are so stressed, pressured and grumpy. I have to admit that I've fallen short to this once in a while. I really hate it when people pressure me. There are instances where I have to make a quick important confidential memo for several people, and people are all over me, looking over my shoulder trying to convince me to take their letters and make them first. I mean, I'm just one person. How could I possibly do all of the them at the same time? Unfortunately, the more pressured I am, the more likely that I won't be able to do anything. I keep telling them to stop pressuring me. During this fast pace moments, I would really love to be in a serene place, where the wind is blowing in my face, overlooking the fields, the mountains, and the sea. I just like to be in place where I can relax. The world doesn't work that way, though. How then? This is a world of endless opportunities and possibilities where people have responsibilities, work, jobs, bills, etc. A world that makes people superficial. I usually do these exercises to calm myself during pressured times: * Stop everything that you're doing. Sit down. Breathe. Close your eyes if you have to and just be still for awhile. This helps me think! * Prioritize. Upon opening my eyes and see the task at hand, I would then choose what to do first, the second, the third, and so forth. * Keep yourself focus. Pressure is something i really don't like. Isn't it obvious? I hate it. I can't do everything! So when someone pressures me, I usually just tell them to shut up! (literally, shout - shut up!), and tell them to wait because I can't do anything with them trying to be all jumpy! * Music helps. I put some music on. I sing to it sometimes so I don't feel the pressure. * Be quick. Just because I'm calm, doesn't necessarily mean I have to do things slowly. I still try to do things faster especially for an important assignment. I just don't let anyone bother me. * Have a lot of patience. I can't shout! I can't scream and most of all, I can't be mad! I just think that in all this chaos, I can still do things with an upbeat attitude and positive insight. It makes me more calmer, more productive and more effective as an employee, as a friend, as a person...  |
