One of the biggest reasons why individuals feel stressed in places like bureaucratic government offices is that they are sinking a great deal of their personal energy into “handling” their environment and “dealing with” the stress involved. Unfortunately, rarely does anyone have unlimited supplies of their own personal energy, so it is quite easy to spaz out and to even get to the point where you feel suicidal. The stress accompanied with the inability to handle the stress creates a really bad feeling and a worse situation. What do you do?
It is important to recognize the energy fluctuations which occur within your own body. You absolutely cannot continually and artificially raise your own energy in order to deal with your job. Eventually, you will have to work with low energy and it cannot be having an emotional impact upon you. The key is to start out your day and continue your daily habits with the lowest possible energy within you. This is NOT emotional energy, which should be absent entirely. This is mental and physical energy. Try to not over-think things, and even try to accomplish tasks with the smallest amount of physical and mental energy possible within you.
Why is seemingly irresponsible behavior being condoned like this?
The reason is very simple: when your energy matches your actual emotional investment (not the imagine amount), then you do not sink mental, physical or emotional energy into tasks which are outside of your area of interest. Your body and your thinking is put on automatic and you are able to simply do what you do best, without the stress and emotional attachment overwhelming you. The key is to use your lowest energy on all levels to accomplish each task, including bringing your emotional investment down to zero. As humans, we only have so much of our various types of resources to use before we need to refill them. In something as daily and continuous as a job, you must be able to do it day in and day out without losing yourself and all of your resources, too. Using your lowest energy allows you to build proper habits without investing in your actions emotionally.
