So, you know it's bad, but what can you do to make it better? Because one of the major indicators of stress is feeling like your life is spiraling out of control, here are a couple of ideas to help put you back in control...
oExercise ~ You've heard this one a million times, but it works! Exercise releases nature's feel-good drug known as endorphins.
If you feel the pressure start building up, hit the gym or take a walk.
Better yet, don't wait until the pressure builds up - exercising regularly may help you to better manage your stress on a daily basis.
oTalk it over with friends ~ Chances are you're not the only one feeling stress on the job.
Talk with friends about what you're going through.
They may be going through a similar problem.
It's good for your psyche to know you're not alone.
oControl the things you can ~ If you're feeling a little cluttered, maybe it's time to clean and rearrange your work area at the office, or perhaps even your car.
Not only will you feel better for having accomplished that feat, you'll feel in control.
oKeep a positive attitude ~ Maintain a positive outlook and avoid negative personalities like the plague.
Negativity can only aggravate whatever situation you're going through.
oTake some time off work ~ Everyone needs a break now and then, so don't be a hero.
Take a vacation or at least an extended weekend to clear your mind and recharge your batteries.
oChange jobs ~ No job is worth the devastating consequences of stress.
If your job is getting the best of you, and your employer is unwilling to work with you to make positive changes, then quit...
it's that simple.
