Today, the topic of personal performance is gaining more and more attention, but is it completely and, most importantly, correctly understood? The most common misunderstanding when it comes to personal performance is associating it to individual performance.
All throughout their lives, people get engaged in self-improvement activities, be it in a structured or non-structured way. From simply reading a new book, taking on a training course or establishing personal goals and initiatives, all these activities need specific drivers. So what makes us establish goals and stick with them? What pushes us into becoming better? What drives us to act? What are the factors that enhance our motivation and, ultimately, our well-being?
Working long hours, fighting to meet deadlines, burning the midnight oil while trying to spend more time with the spouse and children or taking care of household activities can become overwhelming for the 21st century worker. A faulty work-life balance mainly affects family life, but it can negatively mirror work productivity as well, once burnout sets in.
Today’s working generation lives in unprecedented times in terms of societal functionality and human interaction. Contradictions among decisions, opinions and beliefs have become, more or less, too trivial to even take notice of their irregularities. Present times are indeed, challenging, from whatever point of view one might approach them. It remains our duty, however, to transform “challenging” from a term with restrictive connotation into a word that implies hidden opportunities.
We’ve all bought the ticket and took the ride on the emotional rollercoaster. Every now and then, the frustration build-up becomes just too much for our strained minds to handle. The immediate response is the familiar breakout. We often pass our days exactly like ticking time bombs, getting closer and closer to the point of explosion. Even though it is perfectly normal to express your anger, too often we do it in the wrongful manner and trigger a chain reaction that not only hurts those around us but also ourselves. Learning how to deal with your anger on its different levels will help you avoid not all, but most of the potentially dangerous situations.
