Stress Relief Work: Workplace Stress Busters

Written by Johnson Star on Oct 18th, 2009 | Filed under: Stress Management

Regardless of our occupation or where we work, we always encounter stress. In the workplace, stress may come from different circumstances or situations we face while we do our jobs, or from how we perceive our own performances. Stress is actually helpful if in little amounts since is triggers our fight or flight response. This response involves the release of adrenalin which gives us the more stamina, strength, and the ability to work faster. If left unchecked, however, our body goes into overload and breaks us physically and mentally.

Since stress is unavoidable, what we can do is ensure that it does not accumulate and cause us problems with our performance. Here are a few tips for you to be able to immediately disperse the stressors youre facing:

Take a deep breath: Upon feeling the effects of stress, stop whatever youre doing and take a few deep breaths. By doing this, you allow more oxygen into your body that you instantly feel relaxed. Taking a few deep breaths also helps you maintain composure, which in the long run, is really what you need to get through a stressful situation.

Know your limits: There are some things that you can and cannot do. Some of the pressures or stresses that we get from the office are often by our own doing. One of the things often taught in stress management courses is learning to say NO. Do not try to impress your superiors by taking in more workload than you know you can handle. Committing yourself to tasks that you cannot finish only gives you more things to worry about. Thats subjecting your self to pressure.

Take a break: Regular short breaks allow your body to relax and recharge even just for a few minutes. This gives you more energy and a clearer mind by the time you get back to work. It is best if you leave your desk. Take a walk. Get a cup of coffee. Stay in the pantry. Talk to friends. Break the monotony of your work.

There are more things that you can do in order to handle the stress that you deal with while at work. The best part about this is that you do not need to go anywhere or pay any amount to relax. The important thing is that you recognize and know how to handle all the stressors that might come your way.
