Ten Ways to Manage Work Related Stress
-
Work gets piled up but you feel lethargic. You begin skipping meals, fuming on petty issues, ‘irateness’ creeps in and you wish you could simply step out and never come back? Well, yes, anybody would be able to tell that you are stressed. But then how do you manage a healthy work-life-balance? Here are 10 ways that could be helpful. #1 – Be on guard, but not uptight. Accept that you are stressed and it is not merely a phase that will pass on its own. Space out, schedule tasks, delegate work, and break down the process into baby steps. Distance distractions, let go of the time wasted and make the most of the time you have left. #2 – Brake to take a break. Excuse yourself, step out for a couple of minutes, stretch a bit, take the stairs to the ground floor and back up. That is all you need to divert your mind and feel refreshed. If not, there is nothing like a hot cup of tea or coffee! #3 – Device your own therapy. Music is a fantastic healer for some while for some reading does the trick. Some let go of all their tension via the medium of words while some find solace in procrastinating. What is your way to vent out? #4 – Allot time for power naps. Oh! Yes! In spite of all the speculations, they miraculously work! 10 mins post lunch and you feel as fresh as a daisy! No exaggeration here; only make sure you tune out completely for that period of time with yourself. #5 – Squeeze a stress ball. Too afraid that in the heat of the moment you may end up saying something that you will regret later? Keep a stress ball handy. Breathe in and breathe out – let go and relax. #6 – Even in the dictionary ‘Today’ comes before ‘Tomorrow’. Quit worrying about how your efforts will shape up and focus on giving it your best shot currently. Stop thinking whether anyone will like it or not, believe in your creation and give it your 100% – be it an annual report or a company presentation for clients. #7 – Self critic, self-appraise, self-value. The only person you need to compete with is ‘yourself’. As clichéd as it sounds, it makes perfect sense. You need to work hard to outdo yourself and re-invent your personal record. Treating self as a competitor is the best way to grow while learning. #8 – Switch off altogether. We humans need rest. Not just for physical fitness, but for our mental well-being as well. We take our means of convenience too seriously and end up carrying it practically everywhere. If there is anything that needs rest more than us, it would definitely be our mobile p

The solution is to realise that work isn't stressful unless you are a soldier under fire!

Let's try that again. The fact that the person exists does not cause problems, does it? Now I can imagine someone taking dumb decisions. I have done so often enough. Out of ignorance, fear, pressure, being in love, whatever. Find the cause, and you might be able to do something about it.

Space out
Yup, that's my favorite way. ;) But really, I only need one way managing work related stress, and that's (no, it's not what you're thinking, take your dirty mind elsewhere) to find different work! (But yeah, the other way is good too.) Marc

If a person exists or not exists that does not matter. If we have our work, jod duty then there is problem. If you have nothing to do then there is no problem for you. And this is your life. But we have to manage in a meaningful way. So work stress is a part of that. :)

I think the cause is naked ambition and disregard for anything except his wallet
