Stop Self-Sabotage and Manage Emotions Under Pressure

Published by: Eileen Lichtenstein - Peak-Performance-Success Coach on 8th Apr 2012 | View all blogs by Eileen Lichtenstein - Peak-Performance-Success Coach

Many   competent people "self-sabotage" themselves every day by overreacting emotionally and hurting their relationships — both at work and at home.  They stay stuck in habits that hurt them, such as procrastination,  disorganization, avoiding conflict ... the list goes on and on.

 On the other end of the spectrum,  professionals can respond to adversity with a level head — even if they're ready to "blow a fuse".  

 

 Often what they do differently is adapt to workplace changes — even those that are tough to swallow and stick with difficult challenges when solutions don't come easily.  They follow through on plans  in order to turn "good intentions" into reality ... and meet more goals.  They are able to develop the steady self-control it takes to stand up for yourself and deal with conflicts positively and break on-the-job habits that hurt you, like procrastination, disorganization, and others.

You can bring more discipline into your personal and professional life by creating healthier routines and relationships.  Maybe you are stuck - and either don't have "a clue" or have many "clues" and don't know what to do.  Here are a few ways to create a better emotional relationship with yourself-  which will surely transfer to others- just give these a try:)!:

 

  • Write down three things - people - situations you are grateful for each day
  • Write personal affirmations and place them on your dashboard , on computer and in the bathroom
  • Practice effective communication- be assertive v. reactive
  • Leave the scene, when possible if you find your stress/frustration/anger quotient rising and take a "time-out" to do any of the above! and/or punch the ceiling,
    go into the car and scream, do EFT (emotional freedom techniques, tapping)
  • Practice relaxation and/or meditation on a regular basis 
     
     
  • Exercise often
  • Enjoy nature
  • Have fun! and Smile :)  smile
  • Eat and sleep well

 

All the best with this- it takes determination, perseverance and internal motivation to succeed at anything.  Trust that these techniques help and practice them~ and then write your own success story!  I'm listening...

    I love it! This article is too good to not get picked up on the first search page. Oh and no duplicate content anywhere. Don't put this on your site next week. It will hurt you. Take down all the ones you have like that if you want your rankings at Google to go back up.

    I think it's time for my blog writing course again. Always remember when you link somewhere like your web site use key words that make sense for the page you are pointing to in the text of the link. That is a huge missed opportunity. Look at the page you linked to and what is the key word on that page you want to get found for?

    Now use that key word in a sentence that makes sense for that page and link to your web site. That is how you get found for key words. Now you get a couple more of high raking sites with the same Niche to point to that one page using the sme key word and if your article offer EXCELLENT value you will be on the first page. XOXO
