Emotions are an integral part of being human, and they don’t take a break when we’re at work. In this video, I delve into the common emotional triggers we face in the workplace and share practical strategies to manage them effectively.

📋 Key Points Covered:

  • Recognizing Your Triggers: Understand what sets off your emotional responses.
  • Grounding Techniques: Simple methods to stay calm and composed.
  • Effective Communication: Use “I” statements to express your feelings without blame.
  • Setting Boundaries: Learn to avoid triggers and protect your emotional well-being.

By becoming emotionally aware and adopting these coping strategies, we can create a more empathetic and supportive work environment. 💡

📝 Tips for Effective Communication:

  • Avoid blaming others and use “I” statements.
  • Reframe your statements to express feelings constructively.

Examples:

  • Instead of saying “You never listen to me,” say “I feel unheard when my ideas are dismissed.”
  • Instead of saying “You always give me too much work,” say “I am overwhelmed when my workload is always this high.”
