For some people, the words “work” and “stress” have become almost synonymous. If your work activity is invariably associated with violent experiences and negative emotions, it is time to change your attitude to the process.
Instructions
Step 1
Protect yourself from stress at work by becoming an organized, executive worker. An employee who completes all tasks set by management on time and does an excellent job with his duties has less reason to be nervous. Make sure to use your working time efficiently. Think carefully about your work schedule. Be attentive and honest about your work.
Step 2
Don't take negative aspects of work to heart. If you have a conflict with a colleague, boss, or client, don't worry too much. You can cope with stress through visualization. Imagine a situation in which the person who gives you trouble is completely dependent on you or appears in an unattractive light. Breathing exercises and slow counting to oneself help well in a critical situation.
Step 3
When an unpleasant situation arises, focus not on your experiences, but on how to fix the situation. Think about what you can do, what action is best to take immediately, which of your colleagues to ask for help. If the situation is global, notify management and suggest your plan of action.
Step 4
Avoid excessive workloads. In a tired, exhausted state, even ordinary, minor troubles will be perceived by you exaggeratedly sharply. Therefore, you should not take on several projects at the same time, work without interruptions and vacations. Try to stick to your work schedule. Constant delays in the workplace can lead not only to stress, but also to some kind of illness.
Step 5
Don't be in control of everything. Some people prefer to do everything on their own and keep track of everything their colleagues do. Learn to delegate responsibilities and share the workload. Don't take on too many responsibilities. You run the risk of not being able to cope at all or doing the job poorly. In both cases, stress awaits you due to overload.
Step 6
If you feel that your nerves are at the limit, stop working. Get distracted immediately, take a walk, listen to music, do some personal business. Even the most zealous worker should have moments for himself. Call a friend or have a coffee. The main thing is to break away from the workplace and think about something else.
Step 7
When some moments related to the performance of work duties haunt you, not only at work, but also at home, reconsider your attitude towards them. Remember, this is just a job. At times, such excessive responsibility robs people of sleep and appetite. Don't take the situation to the point of absurdity. Imagine what will happen if you do not cope with your responsibilities. If your work is not associated with saving lives or high risk to health, nothing criminal will happen. As a last resort, you can find another place.
