在工作中改變你的觀點，告訴自己一個不同的故事

我們都告訴自己工作的故事，這些故事塑造了我們思考、領導和做出决定的管道。例如，如果你整天都在腦海裏想的故事是“辦公室裏一切都是一場戰鬥”，你更有可能期待敵意，並準備攻擊。

像這樣的負面故事通常對你沒有幫助，所以考慮換個新的故事吧。

從確定你面臨的挑戰開始，然後問：“我告訴自己這個問題的基本故事是什麼？”“

想想這個故事是如何影響你和你的團隊的。是約束還是解放？如果是後者，想想你想改變什麼，你的故事需要如何改變。

這個故事的重新想像（和真實）版本對於追求你的目標或做不同的事情會更有用嗎？改寫故事往往是從一個不同的、更積極的視角去看待一個情境。

Shift Your Perspective at Work by Telling Yourself a Different Story

We all tell ourselves stories about work, and these stories shape the way we think, lead, and make decisions. For instance, if the story that runs through your head all day is “Everything’s a battle in this office,” you’re more likely to expect hostility and be primed to attack.

Negative stories like this one generally don’t help you, so consider shifting to a new narrative.

Start by identifying a challenge you’re facing, and then ask: “What is the basic story I’m telling myself about this issue?”

Consider how the story is affecting you and your team. Is it constraining or liberating? If the latter, think about what you’d like to change and how your story needs to shift.

What reimagined (and true) version of the story would be more useful for pursuing your goals or doing things differently? Rewriting a story is often a matter of choosing to see a situation from a different, more-positive, perspective.
