How To Rid Yourself Of Stress At Work.
Lisa van den Berg
Have you seen the latest statistics on stress? We are
now suffering from more Stress related illnesses than
ever before and it is taking a huge toll on the Economy.
A large percentage of the reasons given for non-
attendance of work these days are related to Stress induced
disorders, ailments or diseases. There is hope for us all,
though.
With the host of techniques available for helping to
alleviate your stress levels, you can learn to control,
and yes...even learn to relish, a certain level of Stress!
These tools can enable you to actually see what triggers
your stress, teach you how to stop yourself from reacting
and even learn to reverse the effects of the stressors
that have been affecting your life, for years.
When the level of stress gets too much, take out your
toolbox of strategies for combating stress and see how
amazing you feel once you no longer have to be a slave
to outside influences.
Some examples include:
LEARN TO START LOVING WHAT YOU DO.
We recently went on holiday and our bus driver was a
miserable old soul. He hooted at everyone and got all
worked up when someone got angry when he tried to cut
in (he's a bus after all!). He drove too fast around
the hairpin bends and braked too hard and generally
made us glad to be off the bus at the end of the trip.
The next day we got onto another bus (filled with
trepidation, I might add) and were greeted by a huge
grin from the bus driver. She seemed to know all the
other bus and truck drivers on the island and waved
to them all. When she went around a particularly tight
bend on the mountain pass, she would hoot ahead to
warn other motorists and when we rounded the bend,
the other big vehicle drivers would actually have
stopped all the traffic to let her through! She'd
thank them with a big wave and a grin and they'd grin
right back. Needless to say, we had an absolute ball
on that trip!
They both had the same job, but definitely not the
same attitude to the job.
If you can find absolutely no way to love what you
currently do, find what it is that you do
love to do and do it!
LEARN TO COMMUNICATE EFFECTIVELY WITH
THOSE AROUND YOU.
Start saying 'thank you' as opposed to gossiping.
Learn to see and appreciate the good in those that
you spend an average of 8 hours a day with. When you
turn your thinking around to having an'Attitude of
Gratitude' instead of one of drudgery and complaint,
everything gets better. You will begin to draw people
toward you and get help and recognition for all you
do from the most unexpected sources.
LEARN TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR
EXPERIENCE OF LIFE.
Have you ever noticed how one person can say something
to you and you immediately fly into a rage? Yet another
person can say basically the same thing and you laugh?
This shows that we are responsible for the way in which
we react to outside circumstances. We choose to react
in certain ways, to certain people, events and
situations. Isn't that amazing? It means that if we
choose not to get upset by what someone else says, we
don't have to? Cool!
It also means that we can realize how to talk to others in
order to create a win-win situation. If you know saying
something a certain way gets a certain reaction out of
someone, then you can choose to inflame or soothe,
aggravate or stimulate. Wow, what a difference awareness
makes.
If you could do with an injection of the Joy of Life,
why don't you try these techniques? You'll get confused
looks for a while but when people realize that you're
actually a lot happier and stress free than you used to
be, they'll be clamoring to learn your 'secrets'
Go on, tell them what you're discovered and before you
know it, you'll all love working with each other,
every day!
