Many Philippine call center transactions are doomed from the outset, as the agents are just as stressed as the people calling to complain. If you have ever worked as a customer service representative, you know that stress simply comes with the job. In addition, inbound call center agents usually encounter pressure from working schedules, company policies and procedures, and quotas. Well, it is simply the nature of the business.
That’s why taking time to do nice things for yourself is so important. Self-pampering is not about being selfish. It’s about taking proper care of yourself and treating yourself as kindly as you treat others. You need to make caring for yourself a priority, otherwise you will continue to put it off. Set an appointment with yourself every day, or at least once a week. Block the time out in your calendar and do not let anything interfere.
As much as you do for others, you deserve this time for yourself. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount of time, even an hour or two will do. Here are some self-pampering ideas.
- Treat yourself to lunch or dinner at a nice restaurant.
- Take a bubble bath by candlelight.
- Spend time in nature.
- Get a manicure or pedicure.
- Have a massage.
- Listen to soothing music or nature sounds.
- Go window shopping.
- Relax with a cup of calming chamomile tea.
- Watch a comedy or read something funny.
- Go for a quiet stroll in the evening or early morning.
- Buy yourself something new.
- Get a new hairdo.
- Visit a spa and have a facial.
- See a new movie.
- Dance.
- Take a nap.
- Curl up with a good book.
