Work Place Stress

The fast pace of work leaves little time for a moment
of stillness and relaxation; something that you need
to help combat all the daily stress in your life.

Here are some easy steps for you to do to help create
some stillness in your life.

After you finish your work day, you’ve eaten, don’t
plop down in front of the TV. Take a few minutes to
learn how to calm yourself with stillness.

Turn off all the noise around you, the TV, the phone
or anything else that may distract you. Turn down
the lights in the room, sit in a comfortable chair,
close your eyes and relax. You may only be able to
be there for a few minutes, but try to increase
the time of sitting a little each day.

Notice how you feel. Are your muscles all tense from
work?

Are there any little aches or pains in your body?

What do you heard?, the traffic outside?

Just relax while you notice how you feel or listen to
the things around you.

Now concentrate on your breathing. How are you
breathing?

Try a long slow breath in and leave out a long sigh.
Make the breathing out longer than breathing in. This
will help to relax you. After a few seconds of deep
breathing, notice how you feel.

If you are still tense, take a few more breathes and
notice if the tension is gone.

Don’t worry if your mind wanders away from your
breathing:it takes practice to calm the mind. Once
you notice you aren’t concentrating on your breathing,
return to focusing on it.

Remember how it feels with the tension out of your
body, how relaxed you feel, how the muscles feel
when relaxed. The deep breathing helps to slow down
your body and relaxes the mind.

When at work take a few seconds to recall how the
calmness felt. Give your mind a few seconds of
calmness and see what a difference it will make in
your work day.

Remember to relax, deep breathe to relieve the stress
of daily living, a few seconds will work wonders.

In today’s world, everything is fast pace. You go to
work and the pressure is to perform. The more you
do, the more is expected of you. You are on the go
form the time you step into the workplace until the
job is complete. You put your personal life on hold.
Sure you care about your family and love ones, but
work is more important.

You are always on the go. There just isn’t enough
time to sit down and relax. So what happens when
you finally end your work day and go home?

You eat and sit down in front of the TV before you
go to sleep. You continue the constant barrage of
noise. You never take time to be still. Stress needs
all the noise and activity.

Stress can’t exist in stillness.

How do you stop the Stress? By taking a time out
to be calm and still. Give your mind a mental time
out. When the mind slows down, the body slows
down; tense muscles will relax, the headache will
fade away, stillness is relaxing.

The problem is many people don’t know how to relax.
The fast pace life has conditioned them into thinking
that constant Stress is a normal way of life. So you
go through life with Stress.

Stress that breaks down your immune system,
causes muscle aches and headaches, taking a
great toll on your Health.

You need to learn how to be calm and enjoy the
stillness, to help rid yourself of the
unhealthy Stress.

When you are under Stress, your body can build up
lots of tension: the aching back, sore shoulders or
stiff neck from bending over the computer or other
machines for hours, are sure signs of tension built
up in the body.

All this tension drains you of your energy. You are not
only tired, but become irritated very easily, you start
to snap out answers when asked questions and lose
your patience when you have to repeat something.

Getting up and walking around to get your blood
flowing back to the muscles will help a little.

To manage the stress when you finally get home,
take a soothing fifteen or twenty minute soak in a
warm tube. Add your favorite fragrance to the bath
water, and don’t forget to put up the
“do not disturb” sign.

Get in and relax, letting your mind wander over happy
things or something that you enjoy.The warm water
will help your muscles to relax. The tension just
seems to flow away, while you relax your mind, and
calm your nerves. The moisture heat works better
than the dry heat of a heating pad.

If you can’t soak, a nice warm shower will help sooth
the muscles while you let your mind relax.

After a bath or warm shower, a nice long night’s sleep
will help you get off to a fresh start the next day.
Even a short nap will help to make you feel like a
new person.

Don’t forget it is important to take time out for
yourself. A little bit of pamper time on a regular
basis will stop all the little aches and pains from
turning into something major.

Part of good Health Care is preventing the little aches
and pains from your daily Stress from building up and
causing major problems.
