Ð ÐAt the end of each day, take a moment to think about what you’ve accomplished—not what you didn’t get done.
Ð ÐSet goals for your day, week, and month. Narrowing your view will help you feel more in control of the moment and
long-term tasks.
Ð ÐConsider talking to a therapist or your healthcare provider about your worries.
Ð ÐTry relaxation activities such as meditation, breathing exercises, and muscle relaxation. Programs are available
online, in smartphone apps, and at many gyms and community centers.
Ð ÐTake good care of your body each day. Eating right, exercising, and getting enough sleep help your body handle
stress much better.
Ð ÐStay positive and practise gratitude, acknowledging the good parts of your day or life.
Ð ÐAccept that you can’t control everything. Find ways to stop worrying about things you can’t change. Learn to say
“no” to additional responsibilities when you are too busy or stressed.
Ð ÐStay connected with people who keep you calm, make you happy, provide emotional support and help you with
practical things. A friend, family member, or neighbour can become a good listener or share responsibilities so that
stress doesn’t become overwhelming.
2.4 ResuLt oRientation
Result orientation is the capacity to identify key outcomes and the actions required to achieve them. It means focusing
on the result of an assigned task. When you are clear on the result you want, you can concentrate on the steps required
to achieve it.
Here is an example from everyday life that illustrates “Result orientation” well. If a child comes home with a school
report that’s full of good grades and one disappointing grade, the solutions-oriented person will focus on the bad
grade and try to understand the reasons for that bad grade. The results-oriented person will try to understand how
good grades have been obtained and try to apply the same approach to bad grades.
2.4.1 Ways to become Result-oriented
Let us discuss some ways that help us become result-oriented.
Ð ÐSet clear goals: In order to achieve a goal, one must first set clear and accurate objectives.
Ð Ð Prepare an action plan: An action plan describes how a person or organisation will accomplish its objectives. It
explains how the target will be achieved.
What changes will occur after the actions?
Who will carry out the changes?
When will the changes take place?
How long will the changes be effective?
What resources are needed to carry out the changes?
Who should know and what should be communicated?
Ð Ð Use the right resources and tools: One must evaluate the resources and tools needed to achieve those results and
whether they are available.
Ð Ð Communicate with mentors and peers: One must talk to teachers, seniors, and mentors for help in setting realistic
goals.
Ð Ð Make a calendar: One must make a calendar to monitor the progress at regular intervals.
Ð ÐWork hard: One must work hard and believe in one’s dreams.
