Work Relations
Anger and Serenity
Mission 5
In the areas of study and work, managing emotions is often more complicated, as we usually encounter people who do not understand us or who care very little about what happens to us.
So it is very important that we use language that allows us to seek solutions to conflicts without hurting anyone or hurting ourselves.
You arrive at the building you saw in the distance.
Inside, there is a very friendly person who suggests that you stay and work for a while in the office.
You agree and stay.
Apart from a few troglodytes, you are likely to meet two other interesting characters here.
Maybe sometimes you are one of them!
For example: Anger eater:
You are very angry.
You feel the energy rising.
You swallow it, put on a poker face, and keep quiet.
REPRESSING ANGER IS LIKE ACCUMULATING EMOTIONAL GARBAGE INSIDE
When we suppress our anger, our body suffers the consequences because the brain triggers stress hormones. Here are some of them: Can raise blood pressure Can lead to heart failure It can lead to anxiety and depression In women, it can lead to menstrual problems Can cause bruxism The Furies were creatures from Greek mythology that applied divine punishment to those guilty of wrongdoing. The crimes that made them most angry were those committed against the family and the failure to follow oaths. In schools, institutes and later at work we find the furies disguised as compañer@s, teachers and bosses who do not exercise justicier@s, but who do not tolerate being contradicted and who try to impose their criteria by insulting and "punishing", making it clear that they are the ones in charge. To deal with these characters, you have a very good tool: NONVIOLENT COMMUNICATION Nonviolent communication has 4 steps. Follow these steps to complete this activity
