How can you become more resilient in a negative work environment?

The surroundings will not decide how you feel. It is you who should have the control on your mind. Keep yourself focused on good things. #Nodistractions #Nonegativity

I believe its easier said than done to practice resilience on the face of negativity in workplace. Some of the tips which helped me are: 1. Focus on what is important for me and my work. Prioritize your attention. It comes with practice, one step at a time. 2. Find opportunities to grow which in turn acts as positive reinforcement. Many times in my 24 + years of career, there has been economic slow down and the first departments to come under radar at those times are the functions adding to cost. Those times, I picked up a new skill and raised my hand to do work which was not my comfort zone. That helped me to grow and be positive. 3. Keep yourself surrounded by positive people and your family. It helps us to stay upbeat.

In my experience, We should do 3 things.. 1) Take an initiative and do something’ to remove the negativity. 2) Practice of Circle of concern & circle of influence ( 7 Habits of highly effective people by Stephen covey) 3) Be present to our point of stoppage ( POS) , note them down, register our reaction/ response & design our learning plan to elevate our response process. I appreciate the inputs from the experts

In a non-favorable context, don't rush out the door. Focus on everyday tasks, maintain your inner peace, develop yourself through handling every day, acknowledge all of your small victories and in the case the context remains a non-favorable environment despite your effort, move on when the opportunity knocks your door. Maturity, self-development and lessons learnt will be the reward for your effort.

La véritable résilience consiste à reconnaître ses émotions, à chercher un soutien approprié, à établir des limites saines, et à développer des stratégies positives pour faire face aux défis professionnels et avoir un impact positif sur son environnement au lieu d'être impacté par la négativité qui nous entoure.

Negative culture is inevitable in almost all types of organizations in some or other form, be it a MNC, conglomerates, CEO driven, or Promoter driven organizations. Such negative culture is mainly created by certain individuals in the organization, may be due to their inferiority complex, sense of insecurities by team or peers, unprofessional biasness or unhealthy favoritism or lacking the basic Leadership skills. It is important, how to face such negative environment. Remember that any situation or person is not permanent in any organization, hence it should be face calmly without being reactive, stick to one’s competencies and skill sets and focus on one’s work. This time too pass on…….

One of a possible way to sail in such environment way is to avoid coloring your own thoughts basis negative thoughts , comments , perceptions away . Most of the times negativity is more in perceptions and conversations vs actual. Stay away from what doesn't serve yourself and system well

Worrying about the situation you can't control only draw you energy away and even affect your productivity with this negative response. Focusing on what you can control helps you put your energy in the right things and increases the level of satisfaction.

For the things which are beyond your control, do not take stress about it. Dont let that negativity affect you personally. Focus on what you can do and choose not to respond to any negativity around you. If you do, the only person who will be affected will be you and no one else. Its a choice we make!

Recomendaciones para concentrarte en lo que puedes controlar. - Identifica lo que sí está a tu alcance, esto puede ser haciendo una lista de las áreas o aspectos. Ejemplo: Gestión de tu tiempo, comunicación asertiva, establecer límites, cuidado de la salud y bienestar emocional. - Enfócate en tus acciones: Centra tu energía hacia las acciones que puedes tomar para mejorar tu situación laboral. - Piensa positivo: Empieza a ver ciertas situaciones desde otro punto de vista, de preferencia desde lo positivo.

I agree with building a support network, but it’s important to make sure your network is not contributing to your negative experience. Surround yourself with individuals whose goals align with yours - and be cautious of those who place a negative spin on every situation.

A fundamental point to make … Are we willing to request for help? Resilient people treat receiving help & providing help fairly. Second pint is - Creating an environment where people can be themselves. Free to share their issues, problems, obstacles & frustrations. “ Nobody & nothing is wrong here” - a mantra to practice & Third point is respect the process & the persons in the support system. That’s the key.

Spread the positivity through actions by involving our closest circle first. Share the context and the plan to overcome the situation. Set our expectations when we invite others, and don’t stop easily to reach our objectives. Seek any professional advice if required.

Construir una red de apoyo tiene sus lados positivos y negativos. Los positivos desde mi punto de vista son: - Te permite hacer catarsis y compartir experiencias recibiendo opiniones de personas que han pasado por situaciones similares. - Ayuda a superar momentos difíciles. Contras: - Se pueden generar malos entendidos, chismes en el trabajo y con esto empeorar el clima laboral. Lo ideal al construir una red de apoyo es poner límites sanos, respetar la confidencialidad.

Having a strong support system both at the workplace and outside is extremely crucial. To get different perspectives a support network at work could include a peer you work closely with, a colleague you don’t overlap with when conducting your day to day job, mentors who can point out when you are spiralling in negativity, and a coach who can guide you on your next step to take your career forward. However one thing to be mindful of is that it’s also important to identify and address when someone in your support system is telling you to act or behave in a certain way to feed their own ego and using you as a bait. They may not do this intentionally, but it can and does happen.

The fourth step to becoming more resilient is to practice self-care in your work environment. You need to take care of your physical and mental health, especially when you are dealing with negativity. You can do this by following a healthy lifestyle, such as eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, and avoiding substance abuse. You can also do this by engaging in activities that make you happy, such as hobbies, passions, or hobbies. You can also do this by managing your emotions, such as meditating, journaling, or breathing. By practicing self-care, you can boost your energy, mood, and performance.

To maintain your well-being it is important to know your sources of energy, what brings joy, pleasure, replenishes your strength. And they can be anything: a cup of coffee in the morning in silence, 10 minutes of watching the rain through the window, rollerblading, testing a new perfume in the store. A simple exercise: think about what brings you joy and make a list. See which ones are difficult and require effort, and which ones are easy. And think about how often you use these sources of your well-being. And if you see that you are depriving yourself of energy, fix it. Then you'll have the energy to do almost anything :)

In my view, Care is regard. Self care is a function of the regard you have for yourself. It is in direct sync with your contribution to the environment around you. People who are out with an approach' what's in it for me? ' obviously will have less resilience. A few things to consider 1) everyday practice- Giving 2) Physical, mental, social & emotional care of ourselves and people in our lives 3) Transparency in requesting for help if we sense 'RISK' to performance. 4) Limitless enthusiasm i.e. 10 minutes of passion everyday Be present to ourselves

I would recommend meditation , deep breathing techniques or yoga for laughing to reduce immediately the negative feelings and boost our moods for the day.

Develop a Positive Mindset focus on what we can control rather than what we can't. Cultivate a positive attitude by identifying and appreciating small victories. Practice gratitude to shift our focus from negative to positive aspects of our work.

Será importante comprender que siempre hay oportunidades para salir de un ambiente tóxico. Puede que a veces, resulte algo dificil pero es importante comprender que cada persona genera sus propias circunstancias de bienestar. aun cuando implique un lapso de tiempo considerable y un trabajo emocional y físico sostenido.

Understanding your limitations and leveraging your strengths to the fullest. Identifying what requires your reaction or your action. When you react, you do it without thinking, when you act, you are thinking through what is going on, what affected you, how it affected you and then you strategically, carefully and methodically choose how you will take action in the negative environment. So, basically knowing the difference between when, how, and why.

Seeking opportunities for growth in negative environments can lead to personal development and transformation. Adversity often provides valuable lessons and challenges that, when overcome, can contribute to your skills, resilience, and adaptability. Embracing such opportunities can lead to positive changes and enhance your ability to navigate challenging situations in the future.

Knowledge is the power! So show your power via knowledge. Never waste your time by proving yourself to the negative environment.

Se o ambiente realmente é negativo e a cultura não te cabe, a melhor saída não é ser resiliente, e sim procurar outro ambiente

Para mí es importante entender que hay ciertos ataques que no son personales; a veces, quitarnos del rol de víctimas nos brinda mayor objetividad. Sin embargo, es importante siempre tener en mente nuestros sentimientos y pensamientos. Si la cultura empieza a mermar física o emocionalmente en ti, es momento de buscar nuevos horizontes. Hay una frase que me gusta mucho sobre esto “Si no te gusta donde estás, muévete; no eres un árbol”

Esta entrada me parece super importante, para cualquier puesto pero en especial para cargos con responsabilidad. Todos los puntos tratados en la entrada inicial son clave y muy importantes. Y recomiendo leer las entradas de los compañeros, todas aportan una arista más a este complejo problema, que en ocasiones roza el acoso laboral. Pero si hay una cualidad práctica que nos ayuda a salir adelante en situaciones complicadas es saber cuales son nuestras raíces, quienes somos o quienes queremos llegar a ser, y sobre todo trabajar duro, no dejar de trabajar. Los pequeños logros, nos dan fuerza para seguir adelante.

Alguns ambientes simplesmente não são para nós. Entender a cultura da empresa, seus valores é fundamental por conta do Fit Cultural. Por mais tentadora que seja a proposta, saber dizer não, se faz necessário. Em casos de já estarmos inseridos no ambiente e percebermos a negatividade, precisamos estabelecer limites e acompanhar nossas emoções, saúde, relações fora desse ambiente. Observando prejuízos, alterações, hora de finalizar esse ciclo e partir para algo mais compatível. Lembrando que nossa saúde em primeiro lugar e que somos humanos, não vamos mudar o mundo. As mudanças são gradativas conforme maturidade do ambiente.

It is easy to lose perspective when you have been experiencing a harmful environment. Ensuring you have a good support network (@meghanpogue) can be your key tool in knowing when it is time to move on.

Un élément qui me semble important est d'identifier ce que j'apprends de cette expérience négative, en quoi elle me rend plus fort, y-a-il des choses avec recul que je ferais différemment. Cela permet de fermer la porte et d'être disponible pour une nouvelle histoire. Créer un mantra permet de ne plus reconnecter les peurs, les craintes...

This might seems unpopular opinion, but the harsh reality is that people around us are having their own interest and so do us. Most of the interactions between colleagues (or perhaps with most of people, honestly) are transactional: we do interaction only when we have interest with them, and we won't do interaction if we don't have any interest. So focus on ourself; our goals, our objectives, and our own life. People will come and go and that is very normal. Ignore those negative people, focus on the positivity that we can share. Because good things will always beat bad things. Unless if the negativity is everywhere and become an organization culture, then we should looking another place. Life is too short to spend in a wrong place.
