Confronting a co-worker

Do you have a co-worker that has been taking advantage of you? Perhaps it started with a plea to help him or her out of a bind by finishing a report that she or he hadn't been able to get to. It seemed harmless at first; after all, you are a team player. However, now this co-worker is frequently pushing things to you and it has really gotten out of hand. You feel stuck and are having trouble saying no. You are now feeling resentful and angry. It is time to do something. It is time to be assertive and stand up for yourself.

Plan a time that you can meet with your co-worker in private. You may want to have a loose plan for what you want to say. For example, "Sue, I know that I have been helping you out a lot lately. I am starting to feel resentful. I feel that you are depending on me too much and taking advantage of my generosity. I need to focus on my work and I won't be able to help you anymore."

Stick to your main message and do not stray from this. If you meet with resistance, simply repeat your message. You don't need to keep coming up with new reasons. If Sue continues to try to take advantage of you, repeat your message - "I am focused on my own work and cannot help you."  You do not need to justify yourself. Remember that you have the right to set boundaries and enforce those boundaries.

Laugh your stress away

When was the last time you had a good belly laugh or laughed until it hurt? A good hearty laugh feels so good, and, research indicates that it is good for us. It helps us relax, it can lower blood pressure, release tension, protect the heart, and help fight illness. Something so easy and with so many health benefits, yet people are not taking full advantage of it. So why aren't we all laughing more?

Many people lose their sense of humor when they are stressed. Our sense of humor is like a muscle - when we don't use it, it gets week. You have to practice to build it back up so that you are able to laugh frequently regardless of the circumstances in your life. In fact, when things are stressful, laughter is even more important. You need to learn to change your perspective and laugh at the little things in life – even during stressful situations.

Next time you spill the cereal, try laughing instead of getting angry. Getting aggravated isn't going to fix the situation - in fact it will lead to more stress and tension. Laughing at the situation won't fix it either, but you will release tension and feel better. Being able to laugh at the little things will help you learn to laugh at more stressful events too. Being able to laugh at difficulties and problems doesn't mean that you don't take action to fix the problems or that you won’t have a range of emotions; however, the laughter will help you feel better, manage stress, and make some healthy changes in your body.

I have the right to speak my truth.
