12 Strategies for Dealing With Difficult People

12 Strategies for Dealing With Difficult People

I'm right there with you, my friend. Difficult People Suck!

Let me ask a few questions.

• Are you frustrated with difficult people?

• Do you find difficult people to be challenging?

• Who are some difficult people in your life? Your boss? Coworkers and customers? Your spouse/partner? Your kids?

• Do you feel trapped?

• Are you losing sleep? (This is a big healthy lifestyle red flag!)

• Do you pause for a moment to take a deep breath before you go into work, or a meeting, to prepare yourself for the onslaught you know you are going to deal with?

• Have you ever looked at your paycheck to see if you have enough sick time built up so you don't have to go to work today? How did you feel when you realized you didn't have enough time and had to go in anyway? Even sicker? I get it.

Again, I'm right there with you, my friend.

I have lost entire weekends due to the overwhelming stress caused by that one demanding customer I'm scheduled to meet on Monday morning. So much stress I couldn't leave it behind, even for a few hours, to really enjoy time with my family. Does this sentence sound familiar? "Your here, but you are not really here." I get it.

Difficult people SUCK!

I have screamed at the top of my lungs in my car while back fisting the passenger seat headrest to the point I've ripped the skin off my knuckles.

I even purchased a new mattress and pillow, thinking that it might actually help me sleep through the night. It didn't work. I still didn't sleep well, and the stress just kept building.

I've purchased Melatonin (sleep aid) even when it wasn't on a Buy One Get One sale. I can also find the bottle of Tylenol PM in complete darkness at 02:00 AM.

I've walked away from jobs that I've loved due to a boss being so unreasonably difficult I just couldn't put my career in front of my health any longer. I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but there must be some science that explains why the air instantly seems fresher the moment you choose to walk (or run) away from a toxic situation.

Difficult people are just unhealthy.

I've skipped meals because I was too stressed to eat, which usually resulted in me hitting a drive-through just because "I just need something." 40+ pounds later…." Well, this isn't working for me." I get it.

Difficult people have caused me to be physically sick. I've felt physical back pain because I was so stressed out and tense, knowing I would be dealing with difficult coworkers tomorrow.

Let me ask a couple more questions:

• What would it feel like to sleep peacefully throughout the night?

• Wouldn't it be great to have a few key strategies that make dealing with difficult people much easier?

• What would it feel like to have control of the situation?

• What would it feel like to be able to leave work behind and enjoy your evening, your weekend, or even your vacation?

• What would it feel like to "Look forward to work tomorrow"?

• What would it feel like to have the power to "Fire" that one difficult customer that takes up so much of your time, your thoughts, and your work?

• What if dealing with difficult people becomes a fun game you become good at playing?

Once I began to master these strategies, the air became fresher, my sleep improved, and I became healthier and happier.
