Stress and anger management

Are you kidding me? Is it possible to be in equilibrium when the boss is angry?

When the boss is angry the only thing they do is transfer their stress and pressure down line. Now as junior, one has two options, either pass the same to juniors or deal with it. Both are equally bad!!

Too bad and too difficult a situation to manage, isn’t it?

But now  a simple, tried  and tested way of how I dealt with this situation.

My boss being  short tempered person got furious very frequently. This used to effect my peace too. Once I  made up my mind , not to let  his words irritate me  any more and tried something funny. When ever he used to tell something irrelevant,harsh, abusive, I used to think that it was not meant for me but for the chair behind me. I used to listen to everything but then i did not react as my brain used to take and interpret  it differently. So it did not  disturb me any more and on the contrary I could continue with the ongoing work without disturbance with better outcome.

Next time it was the turn of the computer screen in front of me or the window next , or any nonliving thing in the room- as silly as the pen or the paper lying on the table or even the dustbin in the office to lend ear to the boss, not me !

Try it to feel it !!

Now the added fun of this boss management trick, when we narrate this to someone or recall, we just laugh, laugh and laugh! With this laughter we are miles away from the frustration, irritation, stress and at the same time continue to excel.

A small twist in the thinking process can be very helpful in the stress management process .:)
