The concept of managing stress is much easy said than done, however there are some stress management tips that can help. Stress happens each and every day so learning how to best deal with the stress is an important and necessary step.
The first step in managing stress is discovering what it is that is stressing you out. This might be a little hard if you haven't stop to think about what causes you stress. One of the biggest stresses can be from always running late to meeting, to work, to picking up your children. Make a commitment to yourself to plan on arriving five or ten minutes early. This is a great way to lessen your stress. If your to do list is overwhelming cut it done to the top priority items that need to be dealt with in the near future. Take a look at your list and decide if there are any items that you could delegate to other family members or co-workers. If traffic gets you stressed, take another route that is less crowded.
Work almost always seems to be the number one stressor in people’s lives. Most people feel overwhelmed with the amount of work they always have, but never ask for help and always take on more. Learn to say no. Saying no isn’t going to get your fired; it tells your boss you are aware of your limits and you have just reached them. It is better to complete five amazing projects, then seven or eight mediocre ones. If the work load is too much, talk to your boss or co-workers and let them know you need help.
Simple relaxation techniques can help reduce the stress in your live. Take deep breaths. Close your eyes for a few moments and allow them to relax. Look around and away from the computer a three or four times an hour. Too much strain or stress on the eyes will only cause vision problems.
