10-Second Biz Bite
Topic: Anger
Watch for next Month’s 10 Second Biz Bite
on the topic of ‘Assumptions'
Anger is an intense emotion that can override our reason and
lead us to behave inappropriately. It can bring a quickness
of thought and insight that CAN be a potent ally, BUT anger
more often leads to very negative consequences - for us AND
our businesses.
The best thing about anger is that it passes. Before expressing
feelings or opinions in anger consider the possible results.
Of course, expressing anger can be better than pretending to
be gentle and hiding resentment. If possible, though, wait to
express your opinions until after the emotion has passed.
Another great thing about anger is that our anger is almost
always quite obvious to others - has someone ever sensed angry
feelings in you? We can all recall an occasion when someone
was putting out angry vibes.
Anger is a terrific indicator that something is out of balance
or needing attention. Don’t ignore this cue – scan your business
and personal life to find what needs fine-tuning. Are you perhaps
being overly sensitive? Why?
Anger also has a way of drawing your attention to your physical
body. Chances are you feel your anger somewhere – in your stomach,
along your back, under your skin, in your skull. Notice the
feelings, breathe, and maybe take at least a few minutes to
center yourself before acting. You’ll be glad you did.
Bottom line? I can't think of one incident where I have acted
out my anger in a business situation that I didn't regret later.
Stop, think and walk is my new Mantra, along with 'Never let
them see you sweat'.....? :)
I look forward to your thoughts and comments!
