Maybe you are not exactly compassionate but you are certainly more impulsive, less mindful, incapable to tap into your higher selves, talents and emotional intelligence. As you face choices throughout the day at home, at the super market, at home, you find yourself giving in to your first instinct. You lash out when others do not meet your deadlines or expectations. When you feel that a freak-out is coming on, take an additional minute, breathe and try to respond with some impression of self-control.
What if you work for somebody who's sensitively out of control, spooling from one crisis to another and carrying you with them? Well, these toxics managers are a danger. They hurt you. They make it tough for you to be at your best. However, the most horrible part is that toxic sentiments are contagious. Without even understanding it you can become negative, anxious, and destructive, spreading discord to your team as well as the people who rely on you for guidance and inspiration. Before you know it, your corporations are toxic places to work. What can you do to preserve resonance and personal equilibrium in your relationships?
- Do not take it personally – do not let poisonous people affect your self-esteem. Their demeaning, screaming, cynical toxic: it is all about them, not you. You should deliberately administer your limitations, so the toxins cannot get in.
- You should not compromise your worth in the face of other people’s emotions. It is easy to slip or end up doing things we would otherwise never do. Monitor your reactions cautiously.
- You should be mindful about the urges you’ve to fight back spitefully, to get revenge or to sabotage. You will definitely become a part of the problem if you do this.
- Fight the persuasion to feel mistreated by the oppressors around you. You should identify and act on your resilience and personal power.
Although it takes effort you do not have to become a part of toxic spill.
