Best Ways to Change from "Whiner to Winner"

Give Yourself a Self-Check

Lee  Davis
At times, we battle emotional containment. Unwelcome in the work place or social circles, the inability to manage physical and social pain becomes a liability. Women energize from admiration and appreciation of female friendships. Women have a greater need for female approval.

Some women, at home and workplace, lose sight of acceptable, equalizing behavior. If control becomes an issue, changes are required. Take notice of friends and family evasions and shortened conversations. Probably the result from toxins you are emitting. If you are misunderstood, feeling guilty and neglected; changes are required.

Everybody has problems. Do not be quick to blurt out your issues in the workplace. The nature of your position may dictate you have a heavier workload than most. Do not tell everyone you are busy and behind on everything. They do not want to hear it . So, your boss piles it on, that is the nature of the beast. Spend your energy finding solutions and short cuts. Yes, they are there. Your boss is receiving vibes that you cannot handle the job.

Friendships are sacred and losing a relationship can be painful. Avoidance is a friend's way of breaking away gently. Most begrudge listening to your problems. Let's try to get you back on track.

When is the last time you had a physical examination? Now may be the time. Insignificant ailments can quickly develop into major medical issues. Your emotional imbalance may be easily treated.

Clean your workplace. Your surroundings have a great influence on your work habits. Check your office library for organizational literature, and ask others for ideas. Please ask someone with a clean and well-organized workstation. Get rid of memorabilia.

Keep a "to do" list; makes things easier. Impress your boss with completed assignments before due dates.

Do not discuss work related issues at lunch, and preferably, not when you are away from the office, or especially when you are away from the office. Spend more time asking your friends, how are things in their lives?

Do not complain. Take deep breaths. Count to ten or grit your teeth, but do not complain. Do not think negative thoughts. Say positive affirmations. (I am the best. Everyone appreciates my talents and abilities. I am great. etc.) Watch the changes.

Do not allow whining to drive away friends, family and good jobs.
