Work Place Stress

Here are a few simple tips for Workplace Stress Relief

Try not to bring your home problems to work.You
need to be fresh and have a clear mind to work the
whole day at your best level.

When you are preoccupied with home problems you
can’t focus on your work. Accept the fact that you
can’t control things at home while you are at the
Workplace. It is not possible to be in two places
at once.

Interacting with other employees may cause Stress
if a single person is causing the problem. In this
situation try to avoid interacting with that person. If
this is not an option, try to limit the amount of time
you need to interact with the person. Always be on
your best behavior so that there is not reason for
hostility toward you.

Another way for problems to arise is when you are
working with others and they may try to tell you to do
something that the boss told you not to do. Explain
the problem to them, if they insist on doing things
their way the only solution may be for you to talk it
over with your boss.

Beginning a new job can cause alot of Stress. There
may be new or different ways to do things making you
feel that you lack the experience or know how to
perform. Don’t Stress about it, that is why most
companies have training periods before you are on
your own. This is the time to make mistakes and ask
questions so you can gain the confidence and
experience that you will need later.

These are a few tips to help Workplace Stress Relief.
Remember having a job provides you with the money
to enjoy your life but also comes with Stress from
interacting with different people.

In today’s work environment everything is fast paced.
You not only are suppose to work faster, but do more
and work longer. Humans aren’t built for this type of
constant fast pace. This type of work pace drains
you of energy and leaves you
less productive.

At first the adrenaline rush is great; you are full of
energy and loads of ideas. Then in a few hours you
start to feel tire, ideas are less clear in your mind
and you can’t think clearly. You start to make
simple mistakes.

What you need to do is to slow down and take a
break. Give your subconscious mind time to process
all the information with which it has been bombarded.
A short break will clear your mind so you can think
clearly again.

Here are three ways to slow down, refresh your mind
and DECREASE WORKPLACE STRESS.

1. Your mind and body are connected. When the mind
is over whelmed, the body feels the tension. This
causes the blood circulation to slow down. Which in
turn decrease the amount of oxygen going to the
brain, which makes your thinking cloudy. Get up and
move around, exercise the large muscles of the legs
and arms to pump the oxygen back into the brain.

2.Give your mind a rest. Let all the analyzing,
problem solving and planning be absorbed by the
subconscious. Do something easy and simple to
occupy your conscious mind without taxing the
subconscious mind.

3.Get away from your desk; go to the restroom and
take a few sips of water from the water fountain.
Change of scenery will help to relax your mind and
keep your from getting drawn back to your work.

This also means to leave your desk for lunch time.

STRESS MANAGEMENT IN THE WORKPLACE should
be a part of everyone’s HEALTH CARE PLAN. It is
your work habits that lead to STRESS. By taking
short breaks every two hours, your work will be more
productive, your thinking will remain clear and the
STRESS to your system will decrease through
out the day.
