It has been said stress has become part and parcel of our life and, particularly, workplace today. However, while some stress is normal, excessive stress can interfere with your productivity and can also impact your mental and physical health.
Workplace stress is generally associated with the pressure one is encompassed by the issues at the workplace. Although workplace stress can't be avoided, however, there're means to manage or at least reduce it.
Many of us are victims of a stressful work environment. However, when it becomes to dealing with it, most of us do nothing but freak out and end up making the situation even worse.
Stress, all said and done, is relative. What is stressful to one may not trouble another. If your capabilities and attitude are stronger than your stressors, then you will not complain of stress, even if your circumstances are slow to change.
In addition to applying different practices and techniques to cope with your stress, your most important weapon against it is - YOU. If you develop yourself at all levels - technically and behaviourally - you can become bigger than your stress.
What is your back up plan if you do not succeed in your current role, or cannot keep your job? A lot of our 'stress' is our mental and physical response to the fear of what might happen if our current plan fails.
Having a back-up plan can help you allay those fears to a large extent. It helps you accept and be at peace with what you will do if, despite giving your best, your current efforts fail.
Yuh too BLESSED...tu be STRESSED!
