Work Place Stress

A Stress Management Plan not only requires a
daily plan but a more general weekly plan for
things that get pushed aside but still linger in
your mind at odd times.

Your plan should include three different list.
The one stipulation is that any thing on the
lists are not related to work, or another source
of stress in your life.

Begin by identifying 5 activities that you really
enjoy participating in. These can be anything
from reading a good book, to taking a long walk
on the beach, a hobby, things you have always
wanted to do, or things that you used to enjoy.

On the second list have at least 2 things that
you almost always do, that you either probably
shouldn’t be doing, or can live without doing.
These are things that will not cause your world
to fall apart, if you stop doing them.

Then list at least 2 things that you probably
should have done by now, but didn’t. Things you
have been putting off, or problems you have not
been dealing with directly.

At this point your 3 lists will now become a goal
sheet for your Stress Management Plan.

-Spend at least 15 minutes every day doing one of the
things you enjoy.

-Eliminate 1 needless tasks from the list of things to
do during the week.

-Tackle 1 thing that you have been putting off for a
while. Break the task into smaller parts if it is too large
or time consuming.
.
Be sure to write your lists down so you will remember
what they are, and you can see your progress as you
do each thing.

Many times it is just making a commitment to reduce
the level of Stress in your life, that produces the needed
results. This is easy to achieve by taking a few small,
but meaningful, steps toward improving your overall
health and well-being with a Stress Management Plan.
