I just started a new job and I am finding myself under pressure to perform and I am afraid I may not live to their expectations. I leave work with my head about to explode and I fear for my health. What can I do? – Miss Pee
Dear Miss Pee
I am sorry you are finding yourself under a lot of pressure. That is normal when dealing with a new job. You tend to worry about a number of things as you try to fit in. You want to try to please your bosses and live up to their expectations.
Try to be normal, be yourself and work hard to the extent your body allows you to. As much as you need to fit in you need not do harm to your health – rather you need to be fresh and ready for each day. Give yourself some time to learn the culture of your new company and I have no doubt you will fit in and start performing well. You just don’t need to rush it. Your bosses understand this and I am sure they will be patient, believing that you have the potential to meet their expectations. When you feel pressured, just stop for a few moments and breathe deeply. Don’t give way to panic. You can do this job. – Aunty Lisa
