Seeker, Stress is one way we feel what is really fear. If you can tackle that fear you feel, you'll be well on your way to overcoming the stress. Analyze, if you can, what in each situation is making you fearful. Is it the people you’re dealing with, the situation, your abilities or inabilities? Get to know yourself and the reason for the stressful feeling. Then analyze whether that fear is really grounded. What are you afraid will happen? Would it really happen? Or is that just what others are thinking? The more you know about your self and your feelings, the better off you’ll be.
Having said that, if there is anyway you can picture these people as honest, loving individuals such as yourself, you will begin to see their actions as better too. Standing up for love and integrity in the workplace puts you in a position to see them expressed toward you, and will also put a spotlight on what is wrong there and help it get corrected.
And lastly, whatever principle of good that gave you that job, is still at work. Know that you are not hurt by the actions of others. You only suffer for wrong actions of your own, (and that, for only as long as those wrong actions continue.) So, if you can, be loving, patient with others on the job, and expect to see love and patience towards you too. And don’t be afraid to change jobs if that is what is best to do for your situation. That principle of good is active on your way to your next job too.
