I don’t know how many times I’ve read the same question or seen the same comment. It always seems to come up at the worst time, too. But it’s probably the best time to ask because that means someone else is going through it too. Being asked about your sanity and happiness in a constant ugly situation is like being asked about your favorite color. Everyone has their own answer, but they all share a similar sentiment: “I wish there was an easier way.” It doesn’t matter who you are or what kind of job you have; sooner or later, we all end up in this predicament: dealing with an ungrateful relative who just won’t cut us any slack for leaving them money or supporting our dreams all these years. But as cliché, as it sounds, we have to keep trying because sooner or later, we are bound to find that person who understands and appreciates everything we do for them, even if it takes us 30 years to realize that.
Establish a routine
If you’re anything like me, then you’re probably in a constant state of “Here we go again!” You might as well be living in a perpetual state of stress and dread, wondering when it’s all going to end. That’s a really bad state to be in because it can make you feel pretty crappy about the person you are and the job you have. So the first thing you need to do is to change how you feel about it. This means accepting that you can’t change your family members, but you can change how you feel about it. Whenever you are upset with someone in your family, try to remember that they are not the person you came to this country to escape from. Think about the reason you came here in the first place. Find a way to remember why you chose to come here and what brought you to this country in the first place. That way you can remind yourself that this is not a bad thing; it’s something you did for a reason and it happened for a reason.
Keep a diary
One of the best ways to manage a constant ugly situation is to take a diary. It’s not a cure-all, but it’s one of those things that can help you feel less overwhelmed and less stressed. It’s also a great way to get everything out of the way so that you don’t end up stressing about it for the rest of your life. It’s not meant to be some deep, profound thing. It’s just a list of things and feelings that you don’t have time to process right now. If you don’t take the time to process everything, it can end up eating you alive. If you don’t have time to write down why you’re sad or why you’re frustrated, then it can end up being all the things that are keeping you up at night or on the edge of your seat.
Stay away from social media at work
I don’t care what anyone says — this one is essential. I’ve seen too many people ruin their day because they felt like they had to respond to every comment someone has written on social media. It doesn’t matter how many people are commenting and how nice they are; if you feel the need to respond to every comment on social media, then you’re never going to get anything else done in your day. Besides, if you’re on social media, your company is going to think you like social media, even if you don’t. They will assume that your weekends are filled with Facebook and Twitter scrolling. And that’s just not a good look for your job.
Focus on the things you love
I’m a huge Dr. Seuss fan, but I’m not the only one who thinks this is a great idea. The best way to make sure you don’t end up a nervous wreck is to focus on the things you love. Find a way to remind yourself why you chose to do this job and what brought you here in the first place. Find something that you love about your job and make it a point to focus on it whenever you are feeling down. It’s easy to get sucked into a negative mindset when you’re in a constant ugly situation because you’re always waiting for that phone call or email that says, “I’m cutting you off.” You’re waiting for that letter that says you’re being kicked out of the family business and that you have to start working for the man who owns the place. If you can find a way to stay focused on the things that you love about your job and your family, then it will help you feel better and keep your head above water while you wait for your next opportunity to come along.
Don’t take everything personally
The best way to manage a constant ugly situation is to not take anything personally. If your family members aren’t happy with you, then it’s not because of you. There are tons of other things going on in their lives that are causing them to feel that way about you. It doesn’t mean that you are doing something wrong or that you are “ruining” their lives. Don’t take it personally and remember that it’s not about you. If you can do that, then you will be able to focus on what you love about your job, your family, and your friends without worrying so much about what someone else is saying.
Stay connected but don’t be clingy
We’ve all been in a situation where someone we love is going through some sort of challenge, whether it’s a bad breakup, a health issue, or some other type of issue. We want to help and do everything in our power to make things better. Unfortunately, we often end up doing this the wrong way. With every situation, there are two ways of helping — the right way and the wrong way. You want to help the right way. You want to help by talking to your relative and listening to them so that you can help them realize what they are feeling and what they are going through. You can do this by being open-minded and asking questions like, “What are you feeling? How are you feeling?”
Take care of your health
One of the best ways to manage a constant ugly situation is to take care of your health. If you are stressed out and anxious, then you are going to end up feeling worse. It’s as simple as that. If you have any health condition, make sure you are taking good care of it. Make sure you are doing everything you need to do to get better and feel better. If you are feeling anxious, try breathing exercises or doing something physical to take your mind off of things.
Conclusion
A constant ugly situation will never end well. You will never get over it, and you will never be happy again. There will always be someone who feels entitled and who feels like they deserve more from life than they do. And there will always be someone who doesn’t understand what an ugly situation is like. It’s better to be prepared for this than to let it surprise you. In order to be prepared, you need to start thinking about it now. Start writing down what you would do if this situation ever happened to you. Start thinking about how you would manage to stay sane and happy if you ever found yourself in a constant ugly situation. And start remembering what you love about your job, your family, and your friends so that you have something good to focus on when things don’t go according to plan.
