It’s easier to put out a small fire than it is to put out a large, raging one. In the same way it’s easier to deal with smaller doses of stress than it is to deal with large amounts of built-up stress. Therefore, make some kind of stress management plan a daily practice.
The only thing we have any control over is our own actions, and how we react to any given situation.
Has your paycheck not seen an increase for years? Or perhaps you’ve just received a job offer that leaves much compensation to be desired. Either way, asking for more money can be a frightening proposition. But don’t let nerves stop you from speaking up and trying to get the salary you want and deserve. You likely won’t get it unless you say something.
