Office: A so called second home!

A workplace and second home are seen as synonyms by so many people in the world. The idea comes from a straightforward calculation of spending 40 or sometimes more hours at the office. But very few remain lucky in not standing amidst office politics more than once in life.
More than half percent of the working class is either tricked into office politics or hold the crown in ruining the much-coveted work-life balance for others. While it's tough to decide for who's on which side of the swing, it is easy to tell when it starts affecting us.

Humans tend to react late to almost everything. Like when relationships turn bad, we often procrastinate in contemplating or discussing the differences until it becomes impossible to deal with the discomfort any longer. In a much similar way, the office is that crucial part of life which remains fruitful only until we see ourselves surrounded by dirty politics. And when the most dreadful times hover around, we tend to neglect and overlook an increase in its impact on us with each passing day.

We spend almost ninety percent of our daytime in the office. Sure, there is always a remuneration in return of the sweat-dropping hard work. But is it worth sacrificing our peace of mind? Just because there exists a world which approves us only with a chart of a successful career that we deal with and digest the traumatizing office politics and sometimes even made to carry out the same.

What is the way out? Are we supposed to trick ourselves and others into the ugly game of work-saving politics? Or we give in and decide to be a sufferer? If none of the above is the option, then are we to walk out of such a toxic environment? If yes, then who is at the losing end if not us?

There is decidedly less that you can do if you are at the receiving end of the office mischief. Even walking out seems like the end of the world because if you quit, it feels like a compromise with your hard-earned position at work.

With that being said, there seems no way out to peacefully live at insanely driven second home. Either you choose to cream your way up the ladder, and time and again bargain with the work traders or walk out before the toxic environment kill your moral conscience or you! But you can at least follow specific steps to keep yourself composed.

1. Stay strong & Ignore

If office struggles are becoming too hard to handle, try to remain calm at the front, even if a wave of anxiety remains inside. Try and let go of things by ignoring them and making them not stay in your thoughts at least after you've stepped out of the office.

2. Meditate, Meditate and Meditate

I am one of those people who even in 27 years of her life has not been able to perform meditation traditionally. Over time, I learned my ways to calm myself. The best meditation for me is listening to Country Music. Find out yours and do that. Trust me; it always helps in dealing with all sorts of troubles in life.

3. Breathe and walk away

The last will be to walk out of a toxic environment. There's no perfect timing for that. It comes in the best way possible. If staying put at an office cost you more than the money you're earning, walking out remains the best decision. We don't realize that uncomfortable surroundings tie us with one knot of stress at a time. The sooner we start dealing with reality, the higher are the chances for us to make a deciding call.
