Dealing Mental & Personal Matters

In relationships we have this called EFFORT.

But as years gone by, you would notice your partner is not exerting the same effort as what he usually does. It started a conflict, you keeping what you feel and dealing with comparing the past and present, thinking what changed? Why changed?

While on the other hand you partner could have not noticed it, maybe got too comfortable of not losing you plus you have been together for sometime so he did not think it is a big deal.

At work, you got this colleague who is awarded with being on top then on the next all of a sudden she was at the bottom and failed all her scores.

What could have triggered?

There are a lot of factors that may affect Consistency and one main factor is MENTAL HEALTH.

Last night, we had a 4 hours meeting regarding MENTAL WELLNESS. We were given scenarios and asked if what should we do if in case we noticed those things or those changes to a certain person.

Sample scenario was something I can relate to as it happened to one of my colleague.

Scenario:

Queenie failed her performance for this fiscal. You know that she is a performer. When you had a team meeting you all heard the background noises since you are working from home.

Queenie became grumpy and won't even join the teams conversation through chats like she always do. She do not crack jokes anymore.

When asked, Queenie open up that she has a lot on her plate. She is a single mom of two and she has to take care her elderly parents who also need to maintain medicine and vitamins. Queenie is a breadwinner.

What will you do if you are Queenie's Supervisor or Support?

Now remember, there maybe a lot of good things when working from home but we all have different situations. There are some people who prefers to work on site because it is one way for them to stay out of all the toxicity that they have within their own home.

Working from home has a lot of stressors but it may depend on how one person could deal with it.

Now if you are Queenie's friend how can you deal with her?

Second Sample Scenario:

Anna was diagnosed a COVID Positive. Anna is a breadwinner too and when she knew about her condition her main concern was financial. She doesn't have enough means to buy medicine and be quarantine because her savings were sent to her province for the burial of her grandma.

Anna got no family in the City and she is just a bed spacer on the place where she lives.

She felt discriminated so she fixed her things then went out of her dorm on a midnight only to realize she got no one to turn to.

Now if you are Anna's friend how can you deal with her?

CONSISTENCY

Let us bare in mind that in order to be successful we gotta be consistent but when you notice something different on someones behavior you have to deal with it ASAP before it could even become risky to the person or to others.

...end thoughts...

I am gonna leave it here and would want to ask for your opinion as to how can you possibly deal with these scenarios?
