Every human being gets accustomed to several habits that repeat in his life over and over again. We call these habits part of his behavior. The behavior counts habits from living at home and having breakfast in every morning to keeping a cigarette in your hand and smoking. There are so many activities with which we are probably already accustomed, that it seems extremely difficult to notice them, as we do them every day.
However, among all our habitual activities, there is a range of wrong behaviors at work that are usual to most of the population of the globe. But do you know that these wrong behaviors can lead to us to failure and depression? These are called “self-defeating habits”. Let’s take a closer look over these attitudes:
- Trying to always be perfect. How many of us have felt the necessity of doing everything right, especially if on it depend our dignity, wage and self-esteem? There is nothing perfect in this world, neither a decision nor a person, so if perfection has not been achieved until now, why would you bother? When you have big dreams and set new goals, make sure you pay attention to your abilities and possibilities. Do not stress on unnecessary reason, if you that your efforts are useless!
- Repeat the same mistakes. You are either late, or your desk is full of documents, or you cannot keep your word with someone. You make promises but you are unable to keep them and you blame yourself for the same mistakes you always repeat, but you never do anything in order to fix them. Wrong!
- Think negative. If you have a dark image of everything, why do you live? It is not the right way to see the things around you and it is not the best option either. Get away from this mentality! Set small goals, make sure you achieve them, increase your expectations as you see that your powers are bigger and bigger and let the others mind their own business!
- The obsession of controlling everything. Some things are simply impossible to be controlled and you just continue on being stubborn. It happens that things get out of control and it is not our fault for it. Focus on the things for which you consider yourself able to coordinate and do not waste your time on other pieces of trivia.
If you do not take care about these wrong behaviors at work you may have a lot of problems. It is all about your attitude!
