There is something so
interesting about the word, "STRESSED". Any
ideas? Yes, it rhymes with messed and pest,
guest and jest.
But, most intriguing is that
the word STRESSED
spelled backwards is
DESSERTS.
With that in mind, grab a
healthy treat to eat and digest these 12 tips for
how to combat stress:
-
Start each day with a plan. Plot
out and prioritize your work. Be realistic
and build in time for interruptions.
-
Schedule physical exercise throughout
the day. Take a 5-10 minute walk every
couple of hours.
-
If
you are unclear about what you are
being tasked to do, ask for clarification.
How can you relax when you don't know if you're
working on the right things?
-
Chunk your
work into manageable sized
pieces. Looking at an entire project can
be daunting. Once you break the work down,
schedule time to do each piece.
-
Know your body rhythms and honor
them. If you're a morning person who wakes
with energy, schedule your most complex work
early in the day. If your energy drops
mid-afternoon, that's a great time to do rote
work like answering emails.
-
Strike a healthy work/life balance.
Do what you like and your energy will follow.
Enjoying yourself makes you more effective in
each area of your life.
-
Keep healthy snacks within reach.
Almonds in your top drawer, celery in your
fridge, lots of bottles of purified water.
-
Stay Curious. Try doing things differently.
Exercise your creativity and grow your comfort
zone. Ask the question, "how else can I do
this?"
-
Anticipate obstacles and make a
strategy to work around them.
-
Make a list of champions. These
are people who believe in you. Keep their
phone numbers handy and call when you need a
lift.
-
Accept 'good enough'. Not all
work has to be A+. Determine which tasks
just need doing.
-
Laugh
loud and often.
