Change yourself
10
There are many things in life that we cannot change. In
todays economic conditions, there is no escape from fresh
challenges, uncertainties and turbulences. Trying to
control them is nothing but a futile exercise. On contrary,
what you can most easily control or modify is your
behaviour. Keep stress at bay, be open to changing your
attitude, outlook and work habits.

Identify stressors
11
Over dose of anything is bad. Doing a prefect is good but
if flair for perfection crosses limits, it could well become a
major cause for your stress. Try spending time on
necessary things, if failure to achieve high standards is
causing stress, redefine the standards. After all not every
task requires high degrees of precision. But dont become
an workaholic.

Learn to relax
12
Most of the time we frown even when not warranted. Your
restlessness wont change anything. In fact physical
restlessness automatically results in mental paranoia. When
you know you have no control over the bore dome, the
best thing is to relax. A relaxed state puts body-mind back
in peak shape.

with a number of functional departments to finish the
project. Failure to finish the work within the deadline may
affect the careers of your teammates and you may be held
responsible for this. Commit to your work and finish it
within the stipulated time.
