A Word For Drama Kings and Queens
The Word That Drama Queens (and Kings) Hate to Hear
Drama is often about control. A person will attempt to control a conversation or a group of people by stirring emotions into a frenzy. There are many times that drama isn't intentional. A person behaves a certain way, and a problematic ripple effect dials up the emotional tension.
Whether drama is intentionally or unconsciously created, it must be avoided at all costs. Left to do its damage, negative drama can ruin relationships, destroy careers and create chronic stress that leads to physical health problems.
If you are sick and tired of dealing with drama daily, start using the two-letter word drama queens, and kings hate to hear.
Just say…
“No!”
Sometimes we forget that it's okay to say no. It really is. You are the only person who controls how you act in any situation. That means if you decide to say no as an answer to any question, you are entirely in your right to do so.
This is true on the job and in your personal dealings. It's okay to tell your friend that you can't drive her to the airport for what seems like the hundredth time.
No, you won't help your coworker on a project when she thinks she won't hit her deadline. You remind her that this happens frequently and that you have your own work responsibilities to deal with.
When you interfere with pursuing your dreams and goals, your mind and body notice. This can lead to self-resentment, frustration, and self-destructive behavior. You're always taking a backseat to your job or some friend, and a stress response is triggered. Your body begins to release cortisol and other stress-related chemicals that cause physical health problems when they are manufactured in abundance.
Sometimes all you have to do is answer no to a request to enjoy less stress and drama.
By the Way, You May Have To Tell Yourself No from Time to Time
You might not just be a "yes man" to others. Sometimes we must tell ourselves no to create a less hectic and stressful life.
You get home from work, and the house is a mess. You know you should clean up because you feel much better having a tidy home. You also feel like you deserve a night on the town with your friends. Maybe staying home and cleaning up is the smart move here. You have to say no to what looks like a lovely evening out because of the possible negative result.
Here's what we're talking about.
You decide to skip cleaning the house and end up staying out late with your friends. Your home is still messy the next morning when you wake up. You burnt the candle at both ends and didn't get much sleep.
You're grumpy in the morning. This translates to your work environment, and you have a terrible day. You experience drama directly related to the fact that you couldn't tell yourself no when considering going out on the town the previous evening.
Sometimes you have to say no to yourself and others. It's honorable to be that friend everyone can count on. Just don't let it get out of control. You might find that you're always taking care of other people's problems instead of your own. This can create drama in your life because you're not handling your own needs and responsibilities.
