What do you do if your emotional resilience is tested in relationship building?

Crucial criar essa base emocional. Entenda que se frustrar faz parte do processo e isto acontece pela nossa natureza humana, somos seres complexos e com entendimentos únicos sobre cada ponto de vista. Prepare-se.

When your emotional resilience is tested in relationship building, it's important to prioritize self-care and adopt strategies to cope with challenges effectively. Here's what you can do: Acknowledge Your Feelings: Recognize and acknowledge your emotions without judgment. It's normal to experience stress, frustration, or disappointment in challenging situations. Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself and practice self-compassion during difficult times. Treat yourself with the same understanding and empathy that you would offer to a friend facing similar challenges. Seek Support: Reach out to friends, family members, or colleagues for support and encouragement. Talking to someone you trust can provide perspective and emotional support.

When you feel triggered by another person... - Acknowledge whatever it is you're feeling - Discern whether it's safe to give space to your emotions immediately or prioritise for when you're home - When it feels safe, take a few deep breaths, invite the emotions invoked by the person and feel into your body. What sensations can you feel? Where are they located? Do they have a colour or shape? Are they heavy or light? Get curious about their consistency or texture. Allow them to be as they are. - Are they triggered by what the person did or said? Or did they touch your past wound? - Appreciate this reaction as part of your wholeness - It is perfectly normal to feel triggered. It happens to everyone

There are two ways in which you can regulate your nervous system. One is called self-regulation and another is co-regulation. For the latter to happen, you need another person. Their tone of voice, face expression, body language and emotional state can calm down your nervous system. It's also a good and safe container to express what you truly feel about the situation and receive supportive and understanding response. Another person can offer a helpful perspective that goes beyond the tunnel vision that nervous system activation evoked in you. They can help you see the full spectrum of choices available to you.

No one faces difficulties alone. Seeking support is a way to truly understand yourself from different perspectives, sharing your thoughts and concerns with someone you trust, and seeking their advice for self-improvement.

My motto in relationship building at work - "First professional, then personal". When you practice this principle, you will deal with your colleagues and bosses professionally. This is to protect and maintain a professional workplace environment where work is done, increase in productivity and happiness index is positive.

No one is born the same, especially we are all brought up in different countries, states with different culture and value. Adaptation is important. If you are having challenges with any colleagues, it may be a good idea for you to read books on cross-culture personality and habits, attend a course on cross-culture or to ask those colleagues out for a drink to understand each other for better working relationship moving forward.
