1. Managing Emotions

2. Experiencing Emotions at Work
• We get frustrated with bosses giving more work
when they don’t understand how much work we
already have.
• We get upset with co-workers who don’t do their
jobs.
• We get angry with irate customers who don’t
realice we are only trying to help.

3. Recognizing Emotions and moving
through them Quickly
1. Recognize you’ve got something to do with it.
Consider EMOTION as energy in MOTION.
2. Understand laws exist about emotions just like
there are laws about physics. Every emotion you
have is a result of some thought that preceeded
your emotion.
3. Accept that any choice to change how you feel
will always come after the fact.

4. Possible Solutions
1. Reconsider beliefs that produce harm to
anyone, including yourself.
2. Keep a journal, a record of your emotion. Use it
to bring your unconscious to conscious.
3. Talk with friends. Don’t talk with people who
gossip and just reinforce the idea you are a
victim.
4. Read books and listen to audio recordings.
5. Get counseling.
