Resolving Conflict to Combat Stress and BurnoutIn this episode, Mona delves into the concept of burnout, defined by the World Health Organization as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress. She argues that the true cause of stress at work is not the environment itself but the people and the conflicts that arise within it. Drawing from the book 'The Anatomy of Peace' by the Arbinger Institute, Mona explores how a 'heart at war' versus a 'heart at peace' affects our relationships and stress levels. She explains the concept of self-betrayal and the various 'boxes' we put ourselves in—such as the 'better than' or 'I deserve' boxes—that distort our perceptions and exacerbate conflicts. Mona provides practical advice on getting out of these boxes and building healthier, more empathetic relationships. She concludes that by changing how we see others and resolving conflicts more effectively, we can reduce stress, prevent burnout, and create more peaceful interactions both at work and in our personal lives.00:00 Understanding Burnout: Definition and Causes01:35 The Exhausting Nature of Conflict02:31 Approaches to Handling Conflict03:38 Changing Perspectives to Reduce Conflict04:13 Insights from 'The Anatomy of Peace'04:53 The Impact of Conflict on Our Bodies06:46 Seeing People with a Heart at War09:35 Seeing People with a Heart at Peace13:40 The Boxes We Put Ourselves In17:49 The Cycle of Collusion21:22 The Way Out: Shifting Perspectives25:25 Practical Steps to Reduce Burnout28:02 Final Thoughts and Weekly ChallengeTo to find out more about how I can help your workplace or work with me one on one, please see www.monatippets.com
