By Career counseling, Developement

Organize Your Work:

First, prioritize like what top 3 things to be done in a workday or a work field also you should give your self’s deadlines because the things which don’t have deadlines typically won’t get done and so apologize the organization means that you need to delay the date to decrease the stress, so organize yourself, prioritize and delegate.

Exercise:

When you exercise you can get the mind out of stress so even though you may have a busy work-life physical exercise is a must on most days of the week.

And you can get exercised while you’re in a work:

  • Instead of using the elevator, you can take the stairs.
  • Behind the desk you can do things like squats, some sit-ups, do stretching, few minutes of meditation these all also can be a form of exercise in your workplace.

It doesn’t take a long time just give yourself a minute interval to deep breathing, these kinds of stuff can decrease the work stress.

Eat Healthy Foods:

A lot of time when you’re stressed out you automatically want to eat high-fat foods, high-sugar foods but if you eat very high-sugar foods and that will cause your insulins more and energy will get crash and we might not be in a mood to work protectively. So, try to avoid high-sugar snacks at the work instead have complex carbohydrates and fibers and take fruits, veggies and make sure you keep them on with you so you can snack frequently and these foods can help you to stabilize the moods and manage the stress at workplace.

 

Sleep:

Sleep is most important to every human being, if you don’t get enough sleep for at least 7 –8 hours each night then you’re going to face more stress in the workplace. You had proper sleep then you tend to be more anxious, more even able, and less protective, and sleep hygiene is more important like turn off computers, laptops. And finally getting proper sleep help will manage your workplace stress.

 

Positive Self-reflection:

At end of each workday review the whole day in your mind and go over all the positives, too often we tend to dwell on the negatives in the workplace like whatever someone said wrong to us and whatever we felt we did wrong but you’ll be surprised when you sit down and literally make yourself focus on what will work and what will not, it may decrease the Stress… So focus on the positive.

 

Learn to say NO:

In the workplace a lot of time we put pressure on ourselves and we have managers who put pressure on us and everyone around us says ‘yes, yes, yes…’ and sometimes we said unrealistic expectations for yourselves and we set ourselves up for failure and we put stress so you have to learn how to take on but learn how to diplomatically tell people “NO”, it’s important for your health and stress.
