10 Ways to Fight Stress
This means that there are a lot of overworked people, who may be suffering from stress, and don't recognise the signs, or don't know what to do to help themselves.
Here are 10 ways to help fight stress.
1. Try and rehearsal more. Even if it's just taking the dog for a walk, or playing with the children more. You don't have to start running or sign up at a gym. rehearsal will get the blood flowing and make you feel better. What about playing football again, joining an aerobics class, or swimming?
2. By getting sufficient sleep, and going to bed at a allowable time, you can increases your chances of getting a good nights sleep. This will help you to feel more refreshed the next morning.
3. Getting fresh air while the day, such as going for a walk at lunchtime, or just standing exterior while your tea break can help to reduce your stress levels, and you might find that talking to colleagues helps.
4. If you are worrying unnecessarily, or too much, then this probably won't be helping matters. Try not to worry about the things you can't control. You can only influence the things that you control. The actions of other people, or the weather or a mistake by a victualer or a customer, are not likely to be your fault.
5. If your boss asks you to do more, or take on a bigger workload, or work longer hours, there is an unwritten rule that says you have to. Be wary that your current workload may suffer as you try and do too many things at once. It's best to do some things well, than lots of things badly. You might not be able to work late that night, but you might be able to help in other ways, such as by coming in earlier.
6. Don't forget that you still need to spend time with you family. Working late and at the weekends might get your work done, but at what cost? What's the point of working all hours if you can't spend any time with the citizen who matter most to you? If you're stressed, then this will influence your family as well. Is it worth risking their health?
7. You might not be able to help out or work late all the time, and you shouldn't really feel that you have to. Your boss should understand, especially if you have a family.
8. If you are stressed, and maybe affected by money problems, then you might be tempted to eat on the go, or just snack, in order to save money. By remembering the point of food, and eating healthily and properly, you can increase your concentration, and work performance, and so get more done. Also, eating properly will help to heighten you immune theory which will stop you from getting bugs and viruses that can make you ill.
9. If you can, why not try and find a new hobby, or spend more time with an existing hobby. You'll enjoy the turn of scenery, and the challenge of learning something different. Why not learn to cook, or to play a musical instrument, or a foreign language?
10. If things are getting too much for you, and you're not coping, do something before it all gets too much. There are only so many hours in the day, and you might not be able to please everybody all the time.
If you're stressed, and want to do something about it, there's fullness you can do, and you may want to seek curative advice just to be on the safe side. Don't let stress get the best of you.
