Today we are talking about Strategy #6 of the 6 strategies to help you deal with difficult situations which is to Be Realistic.
Be realistic in what you can accomplish in any given amount of time. Although you’d like to think of yourself as Wonder Woman or Superman, there is a limit to what you can accomplish at any one time. Pushing yourself to do more than is physically possible will only create needless difficult situations and add to your stress. Set up realistic goals for accomplishing tasks, without forcing yourself into a whirlwind. Prioritize, create a schedule and stick to it. Using a timer can also help; open your phone and put it on your desk and use the timer every day for a period of time. Don’t’ let your phone distract you with other noises other than the timer, however. If you’re swamped at the end of the day, reprioritize the tasks for tomorrow before going to bed, so you can rest peacefully.
You can overcome difficult strategies with ease just by making a few changes to the way you handle tasks. Once you identify strategies for dealing with difficult situations and implement them, you’ll be prepared to handle just about any tough situation that’s thrown your way. It’s about focusing on the end result, breaking each task down into manageable steps, and altering the way you work to reach maximum productivity.
Remember, when you’re feeling overwhelmed, that is a sign to stop and evaluate the situation. Tough situations are best dealt with calm and objectiveness. If you are too emotionally involved, upset or angry, it may be best to let it go for the time being. Take time to think and reflect upon your desired outcome and form your conversation around that goal. If you are ready to address it in 15 minutes, great. If you need 24 hours, that’s okay too. The important thing to remember is to follow these six strategies we have been exploring over the past 6 days, to help you achieve your end result - however, long it takes. You got this!
