Ways to reduce work stress

In today's society, competition is becoming increasingly fierce. People are working hard at all costs to survive in the cracks. How many workaholics have emerged. For people, the choice between working hard and enjoying life is forced upon them. Otherwise, they will face unemployment and the problem of food and clothing. Under the painful torture of all these pressures, can those who are overwhelmed by the pressure be reborn?

Doing what you like, listening to music, going for a walk, and looking at the sky outside are actually quite pleasant. Going out and having fun with friends and talking is also very happy. People tend to think a lot. In fact, even if there is nothing to do, a lot of things will come to mind. Therefore, you should do more things and keep yourself busy so that you won't have random thoughts. It is impossible to be happy all the time. Life is always full of ups and downs, which makes it interesting. Sometimes being troubled or bored is not a bad thing. It can be used as a catalyst and you don't have to care too much about it. Come on!

Many modern people live under certain pressures, such as unemployment, promotion, salary increase, office relationships, etc. According to statistics, psychological and physiological diseases related to work stress have become the main cause of employee absenteeism, work stoppages, and accidents.

So, how should we relieve work stress? There are two main sources of work stress: environmental factors and personal factors. First of all, many external environmental factors will directly lead to work pressure, such as work progress, work speed, job security and so on. However, no two people react the same way to the same job, as personal factors can also contribute to stress. For example, obsessive workers and those who always feel a drive to meet deadlines often put themselves under more stress.

Moderate stress can enable people to challenge themselves, tap their potential, be efficient and stimulate creativity, while unhealthy stress, regardless of its source, can have serious consequences for employees and organizations. Work stress can cause anxiety, depression, anger and other consequences, resulting in various physiological diseases such as cardiovascular disease, headaches, or work accidents, and also bring economic losses to the organization. The World Health Organization calls workplace stress a "worldwide epidemic." So, how to relieve work pressure caused by environmental or personal factors? A Organize your work more effectively. Divide or delegate work if possible to reduce workload. Don't think that you are the only one who can do this job well. This may bring more work to yourself and greatly increase your work intensity. B. Establish good office relationships: Establish beneficial and pleasant cooperative relationships with colleagues; establish effective and supportive relationships with bosses, understand bosses' problems and let bosses understand your problems, and understand your own and bosses' rights and obligations at work. C. Summarize in time and plan properly. Keep a record of all outstanding work and review it from time to time. One is to summarize experience, and the other is to find confidence for yourself. Make some short-term plans for the work to be done and make as detailed preparations as possible. D. Don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Reduce the number of trivial things you pay attention to, don't add unnecessary pressure to yourself, and let go of things that you can't control. E. Enjoy your personal space. Don’t always think about work. Try to arrange some time every day to deal with your own affairs, such as being with family and friends. F Appropriate exercise: Find time to relax every day, such as breathing fresh air, doing moderate exercise, taking a walk, going in and out of the office frequently, and changing the environment. These activities can help release stress, relax the brain, and restore energy.

Violent stress relief: "Carry a small ball with you and squeeze it secretly when you feel depressed." An American service website dedicated to solving problems for male white-collar workers suggests. Carry a tennis ball, a small rubber ball or something else with you, and when you feel too stressed and need to vent, you can secretly squeeze or pinch it. This is obviously much better than pinching your colleagues' necks, tearing up waste paper or pounding the table hysterically in front of everyone.

It is said that there is a "stress relief restaurant" in France where diners can overturn tables and break chairs at will. In the corner of a foreign company's office in Beijing, there are also various kinds of rogue rabbits piled up for employees to punch and kick. According to a survey conducted in Beijing, 84% of male respondents watched last year's World Cup, while female viewers accounted for more than half of the female population. It can be seen that this kind of competition that allows people to release their emotions is becoming more and more popular.

Food reduces stress A recent medical study found that certain foods can be very effective in reducing stress. For example, fish oil containing DHA, salmon, white tuna, black tuna, and mackerel are the main sources. In addition, selenium can effectively reduce stress. Tuna, Brazil nuts and garlic are all rich in selenium. B2, B5 and B6 in the vitamin B family are also good helpers in reducing stress, and you can supplement them by eating more grains. In between work, you can have a cup of iced coffee, which can relax your mood. Putting some effort into your diet is a simple task. Of course, if you have too many dinners and social events and can't always plan your diet well, or if you eat too much and your stomach can't hold any more, then you can carry a box of vitamin tablets or fish oil pills in your bag to replenish at any time. However, experts point out that reducing stress through food or vitamins requires persistence and forming a daily habit, and you will gradually see results after one month. Writing to relieve stress "Write down your worries." The American Psychological Association highly recommends writing as a way to relieve stress. What should you write about? Your stress experience, all your physical and psychological troubles. As early as 1988, some psychologists in the United States conducted a test. One group of people wrote about stress and worries; the other group only wrote about simple daily topics. After 6 weeks of a 4-day cycle, the former group showed a more positive attitude and fewer symptoms. Another test in 1994 divided white-collar workers who had been unemployed for eight months into three groups. One group only wrote about their thoughts on unemployment and the negative impact it had on their personal lives; the second group wrote about their future plans and how they would find a new job; and the last group wrote nothing. Results After a 30-minute writing experiment for five consecutive days, the researchers found that those unemployed people who wrote about how unfortunate they were were more likely to find a new job within the next month. These tests all illustrate one thing: writing is an effective way to relieve stress, and it can be done anywhere with just a pen and a piece of paper. In the United States, not only do hospital doctors encourage patients to keep bedside diaries, but some bookstores have also begun selling blank medical record diaries, and there are even special books and magazines to guide patients on how to do so.

Reduce stress at work Many managers in high positions often have to do everything themselves and check everything personally. However, a person's energy is very limited, and it is impossible to take care of all aspects of the company. Therefore, experts point out that trusting subordinates and colleagues and delegating power appropriately are the right ways to avoid "worrying into illness". Of course, before this, business leaders must be fully prepared: spend some time carefully training their subordinates so that they can also understand your business philosophy - in fact, in this process, you are also discovering future leaders. How should ordinary white-collar workers, or those who are the boss alone and have no one to share the work with, cope when there are so many things to do? A friend who works in media publishing shared his method of reducing stress: work must be arranged properly. You can make an electronic report and update it every day. It will show you clearly which jobs are to be taken, which jobs are being done, and which jobs must be delivered to customers immediately. Sleep relieves stress. Only with abundant energy can we resist the invasion of stress, and sleep is an important guarantee. Experts from the American Psychological Association offer these creative tips:

If external noise makes it difficult for you to fall asleep, you can create some "white noise" artificially, such as leaving the TV on at a low volume, to cover up the annoying noise.

Eating a small snack before going to bed will not make you fat, and it will prevent you from waking up from hunger at night. Foods such as tuna, turkey meat, bananas, hot milk, and Chinese herbal tea can induce hypnosis. Fatty, spicy foods can keep you awake during the digestion process.

If you are still thinking about something after going to bed, put a recorder, notepad or something like that by the bedside. This way, you can write down whatever you think of immediately without worrying about forgetting it when you wake up the next day. Don't envy colleagues who brag about how stressed they are, how sleep-deprived they are, and how little time they have. Remind yourself that you may one day attend their funeral, or at least visit them in the hospital. -- Ways to relieve work stress As long as there is work, stress will exist. It is actually an unavoidable part of your job. Whether the pressure is big or small, and whether you can bear and relieve it, the key lies in your own mentality and coping methods when facing pressure. Because of different personalities and experiences, everyone's way of relieving stress is different, but the key is to solve problems with a positive attitude.

My advice is: 1. Maintain a good attitude and don't blame others for the problem. The boss is the source of most of the work stress. Your subordinates' dereliction of duty may cause you trouble, and friction between colleagues may cause you unhappiness, but the real pressure is how to make your boss satisfied with your work and win his trust and appreciation. At work, pay attention to adjusting your mentality and strive to remain open-minded and tolerant; also, always maintain a positive and happy mood, be good at pouring out your pain and troubles, and releasing negative emotions. This is a good way to relieve stress. 2. Be prepared for a rainy day and have response plans ready at any time. Faced with various situations, having only one solution is not enough. Understand the entire process from beginning to end, anticipate any possible problems in advance, prepare quick alternative action plans, and proactively face work pressure. When you are confident, pressure will naturally not come to you. 3. Learn to delegate authority to lower levels. Fully trust the subordinates, clarify each other's rights and responsibilities, and specify the completion time. This will encourage employees to take initiative and demonstrate their work ability, while also preventing them from taking on too much and getting no recognition. 4. The way of civil and martial arts is to alternate between relaxation and tension. Working doesn't mean keeping the strings stretched all the time. Relaxing at the right time, as Master Ikkyu said, "Rest, rest for a while", will be beneficial to your body and mind. Get a good night's sleep. Minor worries and unhappiness will usually disappear after a good, restful sleep. In addition, exercising when you have time is a good way to improve your mood. Participate in a favorite sport, travel, read your favorite books and TV shows, or simply take a vacation and relax for a while. Out of sight, out of mind. 5. Give yourself positive suggestions, think more about your past successful experiences, think about your own advantages, and you can tell yourself that my value in the company is irreplaceable, and others may not be as good as me! 6. Be good at pouring out your pain and troubles and releasing negative emotions. This is a good way to relieve stress. You can find a close friend who has similar experiences to yours to talk about your troubles and listen to some advice from others. But it is best not to tell your spouse or parents about the stress of work, because their living and working environments may be very different from yours, and they may not be able to help much, and will only add to the troubles of your family. Of course, you must not bring bad emotions from work back home: work is already chaotic, and if you make your home a mess, that would only make things worse. 7. Consult a psychologist. If some problems bother you for a long time, you might as well talk to a psychologist and listen to the advice of professionals. After all, they deal with many similar situations every day and may be able to give you some more useful guidance. One point needs to be emphasized: seeing a psychologist is like seeing a lawyer when you have legal problems. There is nothing abnormal about it. Moreover, those who see a doctor are not necessarily sick, and those who do not see a doctor are not necessarily not sick.

I wonder if you have an idea in mind after reading this. In fact, there will be pressure no matter what you do, but as long as you vent it appropriately, everything will pass. I really hope you can have a relaxing life soon. I wish you good work and happiness. come on!

In fact, where there is work, there will be pressure, and where there are people, there will be competition. These are unavoidable. Since you can't escape it, face the pressure bravely, challenge the pressure, reduce work pressure, and enjoy life again!
