Good day, my fellow Hivers!
I trust you’re all doing well today. In line with this week’s contest, I’m excited to make my entry on a topic I strongly believe in, fun and relaxation at the workspace.
Taking time to relax and have fun during work hours is very important. It helps promote peaceful coexistence among colleagues. When the work environment is peaceful, people tend to work better, which in turn helps the organization grow.
Personally, I’m a big fan of having fun moments at work, and I’d love to share how I usually enjoy mine without letting it affect my work performance.
My Work Environment
I work in a medical space, and sometimes, things can get quite stressful, whether it’s dealing with annoying clients, having a bad day, or handling overwhelming tasks. The best way I’ve found to relieve this kind of stress is by enjoying light moments with my colleagues.
Our work is divided into two sessions, morning and afternoon. After the morning session, we usually get a break. This is when we meet at the dining room to chat, laugh, and relax.
My discussions during break time usually revolve around:
•Politics in Nigeria
•Current happenings in the country
•Business opportunities
These discussions have helped me a lot in structuring my thoughts and expressing intelligent ideas. Sometimes, I even learn things I never knew before, which is always a plus.
What I Avoid During Relaxation
However, I’m also careful about what we talk about during these moments.
I dislike discussing people’s mistakes or errors. Why? Because I know I’m not perfect either. So when someone tries to bring up another colleague’s mistake, especially someone I don’t know, I quickly change the topic or avoid the discussion altogether.
Talking badly about others can make you start disliking someone unnecessarily, and my principles are against it.
A Word of Advice
If you’re just starting at a new workplace, you might experience a bit of cultural shock.
It’s important to take your time, get to know people, and be careful with the kinds of conversations you have.
Let me share a quick experience:
During my first week at work, I had a conversation with someone I didn’t know well. Later, I heard my boss discussing what I said. That’s when I realized the person might have been spying or reporting back. Luckily, I had been cautious with what I said and didn’t go too deep into the conversation.
When it comes to family, my best discussion partner is my mum or sometimes, my kids.
Even though my mum and I live far apart, we stay connected through frequent phone calls. These conversations bring so much joy and ease. Sometimes, I find myself smiling or laughing just by reflecting on the things we talked about.
Having moments to enjoy meaningful conversations, whether with colleagues or family is very important. It helps keep our minds refreshed and our hearts light.
Thanks for reading through my blog.
Wishing you a peaceful and joyful day ahead!
