Stress Tips For Work (Page 5)
Find
people who can give you emotional support. Talk to your co-workers,
family members, and friends about your concerns. If they are interested,
ask them to help you brainstorm ideas for making changes and
improvements.
Discuss your workload with your supervisor or manager. Outline for them
what you feel you can reasonably handle and suggest alternatives for
getting the rest of the work done. Learn how to say 'no' when another
assignment will endanger your ability to control your career and your
life.
Acknowledge your capabilities as well as your limitations, and avoid
comparing yourself to others. Believe in yourself!
Picture yourself coping well with stressful situations and making it
through them. Many athletes use this technique, called visioning or
imaging, to prepare for competitions or games.
Maintain a balanced
lifestyle by making time for family and leisure activities as well as
work. This is extremely important!
Seek
personal fulfillment outside your work. Pursue other interests and
activities that you enjoy. Get your mind off of work when you are not
there!
