How To Manage Stress?

Top Workable Tips To Take Away The

Heat!

Let us first understand stress

• Anything that poses a threat or challenge to our well-being is called stress.

• Positive stress keeps you going and negative stress pulls your legs down.

• You might be amazed to know that some people love to work under great

pressure and one my doctor friends say that pressure is what keeps her

touching new heights in her professional ladder.

• For some, even a small work load might present with a lot of pressure that

eventually leads to stress.

• Perception, Attitude, Genetics, Environment, Work Atmosphere, Health

conditions all play their respective roles in adding up to your stress

percentage.

• So, are we ready here to find out some simple and feasible solutions to

combat stress?

Dear stress, let's break up

"Much of the stress

people feel doesn't

come from having

too much to do; it

comes from not

finishing what

they've started."

Stress Symptoms

• Irritability

• Short temper

• Sleeplessness

• Eating less or more

• Mood swings

• Depression

• Worrying

• Oops, I've already

started feeling the

negative vibes!

Stress at Work

Two kinds of responses can be aroused when

there is a threat to your safety.

1.Alarm Reaction: When you are assaulted verbally by

either a superior or a co-worker, how do you react. Can

you handle the situation in a cool and composed

manner?

Definitely not. [If it is a physical attack you might try to fight

or flee]. But in an organisation or social network there is

no leverage to fight or take flight. Instead there is a need

to find an alternative mechanism to fight this evil.

Adaptation

This is the second response or reaction that

crops up when we get acclamatised to the

sitauation.

• For example, seeing a dog in your friend's house for the

first time can cause shivers. Eventually you get used to

it and may even become pals with it.

• Assertive communication is the key to manage stressful

situations and you should be able to justify your actions

on the light of the situation.

Stressed spelled backwards is

calories, I'd be a

supermodel."

wings and let it fly

away."
