There are many kinds of pressures in our daily lives... it may come from your spouse... boyfriend... from your boss.. etc.. But how do you handle such pressures especially if it comes from your boss... Its easy to handle pressure from spouses because either you can talk about it out fight it out! the same with a boyfriend you can fight to release tension.. but with your boss... not if you want to lose your job! But me i dont take it sitting down if i know im right i reason out with my boss.. he raises his voice and i do the same.. but up to now were together and has nor fired me...I hope not.. but i find this helpful he does not bother me or bug me anymore...and hes become a nice person! How about you..how do you handle pressures..

Pressure from the bosses is what bothers me a lot. But as long as you know what you are doing, you do not need to have a bad feeling.
Relax.. Do what is right...

Life is stressful and there are situations that are not easy to handle. I was a people pleaser for years and did not stand up for myself very often especially with authority figures. I would avoid confrontation until it got to the point where I could not handle it anymore and explode! As I got older I became aware that that approach did not work and I learnt to talk things out in a more assertive manner. It sounds as though your boss has learned to respect you because you stand up for yourself.
I love to write, it's a good de-stressor for me and so is MyLot!

I try to handle it by staying calm, and then trying to talk it out. i don't like fighting or yelling at some one, i do a lot of walking to. it seems that if i get out and walk to relieve some of the tension so i can go back and try and work the problem out...........

I agree with you dude. Pressure is part of our daily lives. Your boss is not firing you because he is professional. Whenever he raises his voice to you and you do the same to him, he doesn't take it personally. It's all about work. This can also be helpful than holding back that emotion within you. By talking and taking time to discuss about each other's point, you can collaborate and even come out with a new and better idea.
About me handling presure, it's simple. I just remain calm and stay focused. This will help me get the job done with great results.
