Find Some Humour – Recharging Yourself & Your Career #6
When we take ourselves too seriously, situations can get pretty heavy. We jump to conclusions and take random comments to heart and react as though they were criticism. This immediate reaction occurs especially when we are very busy and many deadlines are looming.
When we are passionate about our work, we begin to identify ourselves with our work and end up in the perfectionism trap. On the other hand we know that we live in an imperfect world, so why must we be perfect? Is this the ego at work? Time to forgive yourself for being imperfect and look on the lighter side. Look for the ridiculous here.
Finding the humour in the situations means not wasting emotional energy trying to be perfect, hiding our anger or feeling guilty, A good laugh will clear the slate, and put us back on an even keel.
Great insight about how humour clears the slate, then emotional energy isn’t being wasted trying to be perfect! I love finding the humour in situations but didn’t really understand how or why it was a benefit to me and my energy….and a shift away from perfectionism….Thanks LA!
