Why are many people in the workplace still anxious when they are doing well?

Anxiety comes from bad desire management. Everyone has desires, which is normal. The management of self-desire reflects the realm and level of being a man and doing things. Obviously doing well, but also anxious, because of the comparison, or because the desire is advanced, or the desire is not realized in time, can not wait.

For example, if you are conscientious and outstanding in your department, your colleagues think you can be promoted, and your boss hints that you have a chance. The seeds of desire are rooted in your heart. You have a countdown in your heart. Why don't you promote me? This is the desire to make progress. If other colleagues make achievements and the boss praises them, you will be worried. Will this colleague surpass me and replace me? From then on, you will be anxious.

So, what about eliminating workplace anxiety? Is to learn to self-manage desires and delay satisfaction. What do you mean? Just don't "consume" your desires in advance, postpone the satisfaction of your desires, and lower your expectations for happiness, and your anxiety will be reduced.

There is a proverb in China: Haste makes waste. There is also a saying: intentional flowers can't bloom, and unintentional willows are shaded. When you lower your expectations of desire, you will lower your anxiety. The expectation of desire is directly proportional to anxiety, and even anxiety will be twice as advanced. This is a psychological effect. There is no good way from the outside. It is to rely on inner cultivation to delay satisfaction and lower expectations, which will reduce anxiety.

But lowering expectations doesn't mean not working hard. As the old saying goes, if you get lucky, you lose your life. Work hard, it is my luck to get it, and it is my destiny to get it. Relax and let nature take its course, and the anxiety will be alleviated.
