There are enough things to deal with on a day to day basis while one is trying to earn a living. Adding unneeded stress to the mix will do nothing but harm you mentally and physical and perhaps even harm your career. Learning these tips will help you have a less stressful working environment.
Live in a compartment of the present.
The professional with a commitment to service seals off each interaction with a customer so that negative experiences don’t poison future interactions. Don’t allow past successes or failures or future anticipated success or difficulties influence your current performance. When it comes to customer service, live in the moment.
Don’t fuss about trifles.
A “trifle” is something that is insignificant in comparison to other things in your life. When you focus on trifles, you lose perspective. Keep the big picture in mind. Doing so will help you objectively sort out the small stuff from the important issues.
