Pressure: Inevitable, but Not Unmanageable

Pressure: Inevitable, but Not Unmanageable

Pressure is inevitable, and it is mounting at all levels—both in organisations and within families. Some people are productive under pressure, while others succumb to it, becoming unproductive and stressed.

Can we avoid pressure?

The answer is both yes and no. If we decide how to function irrespective of job pressure, we can avoid being controlled by it. However, the result may be that we are not seen as productive or team oriented. If we do not care about such labels, we can sidestep pressure—but most of us want to progress and prove ourselves, which makes avoiding pressure difficult.

The good news is that the very word "pressure" can be redefined by shifting our attitude toward it. Instead of calling it pressure, we can term it a challenge or a demanding situation. When we do so, our minds begin to work more favourably: we generate ideas, become more creative, ask for help, take necessary pauses, and reaffirm that overcoming the challenge will benefit us.

So much in life changes when we alter our perspective toward what we face. Next time, instead of saying, “There is a lot of pressure,” try saying, “I have challenges to face.” This simple shift in language can transform your inner world and foster a positive mindset for engaging with life’s realities.
