From time to time, when things get difficult at work, you get stressed and anxious. The quantity of outstanding tasks can get overwhelming especially when the deadline is looming around. Some of these outstanding tasks are quite complicated that needs time consuming research.
From time to time, you have to make difficult phone calls with unpleasant and unhappy clients. For somebody like you who detest conflicts, these kind of phone calls can be dreadful.
These situations stress you out, especially when you were still new in the organisation. Although your self-confidence has improved, because of the expertise and experience that you have gained over the years, difficult work situations can still overwhelm you at times.
But you know what, as you have learned time and time again, there is actually nothing to worry about. Being stressed at work is a waste of your time and energy, because no matter how out of control work sometimes seems to, you are always able to rise above it.
You are always able to manage your work, however complicated they can be from time to time. The best way to deal with the complexities and challenges at work is to focus on what you can control.
Although you can feel frustrated sometimes, know that this state of frustration is temporary. Eventually, you will be able to overcome the obstacles in front of you as you always do.
