Raise your hand if you are an emotional person. Yep, I’m with you! I am an emotional person, I cry easy. I HATE that about myself. I want to control it, I don’t want to cry at work!
Last post I mentioned Radical Candor by Kim Scott. I’m bringing another tid bit I got from her today. I can’t recommend this book more.
I am a crier that doesn’t want to cry and at the same time I don’t know how to handle when others cry. I usually sit there and let them cry and ask if they are ok. So awkward.
Well someone recommended to Kim (yea it’s the type of book that we are on first name basis now) to NOT keep tissues in her office. Instead recommended tissues within walking distance and bottles of water at her desk. Uh ok, how does that matter?
So with the tissues on your desk it makes people feel more open to crying. Where as if they are in walking distance you have to excuse yourself and go get them. In the time it takes to get the tissues many people are able to get their emotions back under control and won’t need the tissues.
The water bottles was weird to me until explained. If you offer someone on the verge of tears a bottle of water it stops them crying? well when they take the unopened bottle they pause, open it and take a sip. That time focusing on the water bottle is usually enough to help them get the tears under control.
Don’t get me wrong. Tears are not to be ashamed (I need to hear this too, I’m ashamed of my emotions most times). The thing is I don’t want my emotions to control me, especially at work. I consistently think of how people perceive me if I cry, especially as a woman in the workplace.
Tears like everything have a time and place, typically work isn’t one of them.

Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this blog. Things i would advice people would be to give up the actual mentality that they’ll buy right now and pay out later. As a society all of us tend to do that for many things. This includes holidays, furniture, as well as items we would like. However, you have to separate your own wants from all the needs. When you are working to improve your credit rating score you have to make some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save money or you can turn to second hand shops instead of costly department stores with regard to clothing.
Your style is very unique in comparison to other folks I’ve read stuff from. Thank you for posting when you have the opportunity, Guess I’ll just bookmark this page.
