Title: Navigating Cultural Clashes and Work-Related Stress for Improved Physical Well-Being
I. Introduction
Little can be achieved without energy, be it mental, physical or emotional. When we are younger this energy stabbed through my being in waves: passion propelled me. But now I want something different: a calmer and more certain expending of energy. Instead of confident certainty, of a clear allocation of me, I struggle with cultural clashes that sap my energy each day. These find their place most righteously at work.
Importance of addressing cultural clashes and work-related stress for physical well-being
II. The Clash of Cultures Within
I remember the pressures of working in Dubai, and I enjoyed it. I remember purchasing a printer and laminator to decorate my classroom. Yet I remember the corporate pressures with the woman who was banned from teaching in Dubai.
How about the experience of drinking heavily at times vs the lack of reading I so clearly did?
These cultural clashes impact both my emotional and mental health because they demand that I sit with so much dissonance, and expend too much energy.
Learning about these other cultures may help me to identify the essential characteristics of each. The cross-over points that seek to direct my attention.
How cultural clashes can impact mental and emotional health
Strategies for managing cultural clashes, including seeking out support and learning about other cultures
III. Doing Things You Don't Agree with at Work
Every workplace causes moral and ethical dilemmas. People who do not put in as many hours as I think they should? A potential issue. A lack of attention to the needs of vulnerable students? That's an issue. How about denigrating classroom teachers in their space? That's also an issue.
Professionalism by its nature demands we follow its values over its own. As a teacher, this might be inclusion, or grading, or disciplining: if we choose to follow cultures that denigrate grading, or seek restorative disciplining, or challenge inclusion, then we will experience cognitive dissonance.
To deal with these issues requires me to identify the sources of conflict. My position in the hierarchy demands I do. Seeking points of connection between these dissonant points is another.
IV. The Connection Between Physicality and Energy Levels
For too long I struggled with my physicality, or even my lack of it. My energy levels are low almost all the time. I feel not a sense of energy or passion in what I do. I think my week of junk food comes back to me now. Seeking energy through physical healthy will be important.
