Work Stress and Kindness in the Workplace.
A) Stress at work Work Stress and Kindness in the Workplace.
1) These are God's reminders for me as I prepare for the coming week. -
Work has been challenging, but I am comforted knowing that there is an almighty God who is all knowing and is directing my steps. I am assured that when He feels farthest away, it is then that He is actually nearest to me.
The problem with me is that the people closest to me know and feel when I'm stressed because I don't know how to handle my stress well because of my anxiety issues. But the Lord knows how and when to remind me to be gentle, to be patient, to seek Him in everything I do so that I don't get anxious the way I do. Anxiety is something that I've had to deal with all my life so you'd think I'd get better at handling it, but I don't. But somehow, assurances from God seem to calm me, and remind me that "He knows the way I take." (Job 23:10), and because He does, I have no excuse to be mean, angry, or even anxious.Even in hard times, remember that the Lord is present, and is accomplishing great things in and through our lives. Trust Him in your darkest hours, in your most worrisome state, and He will surround you with His eternal, unwavering love.
2) When work gets daunting -
When my tasks for the week seem daunting, I am quick to remind myself that the good Lord has already provided for everything I need, that I just need to trust and to do my best.
Trust that you can handle anything that comes your way this week. I am rooting for you and me! We can do this!
Be kind at work. “Whether you’re at the top of the corporate ladder or feel like you’re at the bottom of the food chain, you can influence the culture of your workplace.”
Your Next 24 Hours
Many people spend more time at work than at home. Whether you spend time in a cubicle, house or fancy office, there’s a circle of people with whom you regularly interact. Each day, you have the power to influence someone: colleagues, supervisors or customers.
If you’re living the dream, are you using your happiness as energy to demonstrate kindness at work? If you’re unhappy in your current season, are you letting that negatively affect your attitude and actions toward others?
Work is a holy idea! Adam was put in the Garden of Eden to take care of it. God has placed you in your current position for a reason and a season. Are you using this time at work to bring people closer to Jesus?
Remember: “Your vocation is merely a stage from which you can influence the lives of coworkers and the heart of the company itself.”
