The kind of relationships we have, whether it is just dating, something absolutely for fun, plain sexual benefits or a serious one where you both are kind of together, it does tend to affect our lives.

And another part of your life that it has a major impact on is your work and how you are performing at your work place.

If you have been noticing some issues at work, and think that it could be because of something that is happening with your Personal life, here are a few ways that can help you cope with it better, and keep your job too.

Speak To Your Boss Or Colleagues About It

If there is some personal issue that you are going through that is making it difficult for you to concentrate on your work, or give it the time it needs, talking to your boss or your immediate colleagues or team members about it can help. Informing them in advance that things are rough and that you may not be in your best shape will be good, especially if something important is lined up. Let them know that this is a temporary issue and that you are dealing with it – this is not because you are not interested in the job.

While you are at work, make sure to stay away from connecting with your partner, especially if you are going through any problems already. Switch off all notification alerts on your phone, mute your partner’s WhatsApp messages, don’t keep Social Media on your office computer or laptop, unless you need it for work. Even then, stop yourself from checking your personal account at work. This can help to avoid negative interactions while you are at work.

Take A Break

If things are really looking messy and you are having a tough time handling your emotions, speak to your boss if you can take a small break. This can help you address the emotional problems and take the necessary steps to handle it in a way that it does not affect you, and will also give you time to recuperate and recharge your batteries.

Finally, talk to your partner and figure out what is bothering you both and how you can sort it out to avoid creating a mess.
