Work Anxiety

isahappygirl July 24th

I always feel anxious in the morning when I have to work... I am always afraid of making mistake. Does anyone know how to cope with this?

I think most people get that ... what happens if you do make a mistake ... for some jobs it is more serious then others and many things have procedures in place to correct any such error. Once you can see that any error can be corrected the pressure about making one in my opinion eases. 

Of course no one wants to make mistakes but they do happen to everyone now and then finding out how they are corrected will ease your issue.

Mistakes will always happen, and everyone makes them.  It doesn't matter if you've had a month of experience or 30 years.  It's always going to be how you react to a mistake.  If you make one, own up to it.  If you can fix it, fix it.  If you need help fixing it, ask for help.

And, you can always let your boss know you're feeling anxious because you don't want to make a mistake.  It's probably going to be nice to hear - some refreshing honesty! :)
