Emotional balance is not only important for your own performance, but also for the working atmosphere and teamwork.
Emotional balance and team culture
A team senses when the manager is emotionally balanced. This has a direct impact on the working atmosphere. Emotional balance creates psychological security. Employees feel valued and can contribute better. Many clients report that greater emotional balance makes them more open to feedback. This promotes communication and cooperation. Emotional balance also helps to resolve conflicts constructively. The team works more effectively and creatively.

Practical tips for more emotional balance
Regular reflection helps to strengthen your own emotional balance. I recommend taking a few minutes a day for self-reflection. Pay attention to your feelings and thoughts. Make a note of what particularly affected you today. This helps you to better understand and manage your emotions. Mindfulness exercises can also help to promote emotional balance. Try it out and observe how your mood changes.
Another tip is to take regular breaks. I consciously take short breaks to recover and regenerate. This helps to reduce stress levels and improve emotional balance. Exercise and sport can also help to regulate emotions. I regularly go for walks or do yoga to relax and regenerate.
Another important aspect is communication. I make sure to communicate openly and honestly. This helps to avoid misunderstandings and strengthen relationships within the team. I give regular feedback and also accept feedback from others. This promotes emotional balance and teamwork.
