A question from a coach. To manage our emotions… What have I to do?
First recognize them, then work on them. Could it be useful to talk with other colleagues who can help me with an external, more objective view of my emotional reactions?
An action plan in 6 points:
- Comparison with colleagues on how to handle disappointment rather than enthusiasm is useful.
- It is decisive to accept what we feel at that moment, even if we don’t like it.
- Only assess our behavior in that situation and never extend it to our person in global terms.
- Reflecting on alternative ways of reacting to the event for which we are, for example, angry
- Decide how to behave the next time a similar situation arises
- The use of abdominal breathing, paying particular attention to lengthen the exhalation phase (counting up to 7), can be useful to regain self-control.
