Effective ways to cope with workplace stress

Daily decompression

In daily life, we should know how to talk with people, at the same time pay more attention to rest, exercise moderately every day, don't pursue perfection in anything, listen to more music and keep an optimistic life.

Physiological first

Another way to manage stress focuses on controlling some physiological changes, such as gradually relaxing muscles, taking deep breaths, strengthening exercise, getting enough and complete sleep, and keeping healthy and nutritious. By staying healthy, you can increase your energy and endurance, and help you fight fatigue caused by stress.

Improve ability

Sometimes the source of stress is the most lost sense of unfamiliarity and uncertainty, so the most direct way to relieve stress is to understand your own uncertain factors and strive to improve your ability. Avoidance can't solve the problem.

Live today

Stress, in fact, has the same characteristics, manifested as anxiety and worry about tomorrow and the future. To cope with pressure, the first thing to do is not to wait and see the distant future, but to do something clear in front of you, because the best way to prepare for tomorrow is to concentrate all your wisdom and enthusiasm and do today's work perfectly.

Enhance communication

We should actively improve interpersonal relationships at ordinary times, especially strengthen communication with superiors, colleagues and subordinates. We should always remember to seek the help of the supervisor when the pressure is too great, and don't try to put all the pressure on one person. At the same time, when the pressure comes, you can take the initiative to seek psychological assistance, such as talking to family and friends, conducting psychological counseling, and actively coping.

time management

The generation of work pressure is often accompanied by the shortage of time, and I always feel that many things are urgent and time is not enough. An effective way to solve this sense of urgency is time management. The key is not to let your arrangement affect you. You should arrange your own affairs. When arranging time, we should weigh the priorities of various things and learn to "play the piano". Work should be forward-looking, put important but not necessarily urgent things in the first place, and nip in the bud. If we are always busy putting out fires, our work will always be passive.

Workplace stress management rules

One: Evaluate yourself correctly.

Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses, and let those friends who are familiar with you and can speak frankly modify this list. Then decide how to make full use of every advantage of yourself and overcome your shortcomings effectively.

Two: overcome fear.

Many losers may never understand the truth-that is, our failures are often caused not by practical difficulties, but by our own fears. Fear can also affect a person's potential, so it is more necessary to overcome fear in workplace stress management. To overcome this fear that everyone has, we can start with some small things. For example, try to say hello to a friend you just met and watch a horror movie alone. As long as you are willing to often try something you want to do but dare not do in your daily life, and often challenge yourself, then you can gradually have fearless courage in your work.

Three: Keep a peaceful mind.

Don't always pester yourself with pressure, learn to cultivate several kinds of health and interests or personal hobbies, which is the key to maintaining a good mood. For example, you must engage in at least one sports activity every day for at least half an hour; Or use fifteen minutes before going to bed every day to meditate or relax for a quarter of an hour. During this time, you just want to make yourself happy and positive. This short-term charging will be of great help to your mood.

Four: make life orderly.

An orderly life will make you clear-headed and feel comfortable every day. For example, it is necessary to tidy up the desk before going to work every day and regularly clean up the files and emails in the computer. Maybe you think these are trivial things that can be done, but when you give up doing this, you also give up the good habit of keeping your work in order. Close your eyes and think about it. Is it enough to make you feel confused, nervous and worried just because your desk is full of reports and memos and there are a bunch of letters in your mailbox that need to be answered? Besides, don't underestimate family life. The success of a career is often directly related to family life. A leisurely morning and a rich breakfast may determine your mood and work efficiency in a day. No one thinks that going to work unkempt and hungry will make people feel good all day.

Five: don't rely on or trust others.

Don't expect everyone you work with to think from your standpoint. Recognizing this, you will reduce a lot of disappointment and depression. Be careful to choose those who you want to trust or express your feelings to.

Six: stick to your own values

Be sure to figure out what you want most. Money, a life full of changes and constantly surpassing oneself, or a practical and plain ordinary life? Then think about whether your current job can provide you with these conditions or feelings. If the two are far apart, you should consider changing your job or adjusting your concept.

Seven: Stay active.

If you are a white-collar worker who feels tired easily, then you'd better not attribute the reason to overwork. In fact, in most cases, our fatigue is caused by anxiety, tension or unhappiness. So, please try to "pretend" that you are full of enthusiasm and interest in your work, answer every phone call with a smile, shout "Great" from your heart when the boss asks you to work overtime on weekends, and cheer yourself up every morning ... Don't think it's superficial. This is a very important psychological hint.

Eight: Make full use of the Internet

The Internet is not only a tool for chatting and sending emails, but also the best helper in your career. For example, if you have questions about how to find a job that suits you better, the Internet will teach you how to do a good resume, how to pass the interview, how to ask for salary in an appropriate way, and so on. If you are starting a business, the Internet will teach you how to make plans and raise funds. In a word, there are all kinds of contents on the Internet. Take a little time to master them and pay attention to the websites that can help you most in your daily work and life, then you will occupy more resources and information, which will become your support system for coping with stress at critical moments and make you feel "promising" forever.

Nine: Face up to reality

There is a proverb in English that says "Don't cry for spilled milk". In life, everyone will encounter unpleasant things: he finally got the appreciation of his boss, but he was transferred to another place; I went all out to bid, but I lost the opportunity because the final data was not verified ... instead of letting these irreparable facts destroy our mood, we should face up to reality, learn lessons and accumulate strength for better work in the future.

In the management of workplace stress, we need to correctly understand and judge ourselves, overcome bad emotions, maintain a positive attitude, not easily change our values, make full use of the favorable environment around us, and make our lives colorful and regular. We should do a good job in workplace stress management from two aspects: preventing workplace stress in advance and alleviating workplace stress.

Skills to face workplace pressure

Form a correct cognition

First of all, we should have a correct understanding of stress. What is the nature of stress? Recognize the inevitability and necessity of pressure. In particular, we should recognize both its negative side and its positive side. Andrew Robel, a famous psychologist, put it well: "Stress is like a knife, which can be used by us or cut us." That depends on whether you are holding a blade or a handle. "

Second, evaluate yourself correctly and accept yourself. Don't set yourself too high to be omnipotent; Don't feel useless. Everyone can do something, but they can't. Find what you are best at and maximize it, and you will feel more relaxed because you are relaxed. Always keep a normal mind, don't set your goals unattainable, do everything according to your abilities, and adjusting your goals at any time is not necessarily the performance of the weak. Don't always compare with others, especially don't compare your own shortcomings with others' advantages. You can analyze all the people you know. They must have an advantage over you, but they must also have a disadvantage. There will be no accidents.

Finally, understand the environment and adapt to it. We are in a modern society with fierce competition, and this is a world where the fittest survive. There must be many unfair, unreasonable, unsuitable and inhuman places in this environment, but for individuals, this environment is an unchangeable factual premise. Do as the Romans do, and don't let local customs follow me. If our complaining about the environment can change the environment, let's all complain together. Complaining is a matter of lifting a finger. Unfortunately, complaining can't change the environment and solve the problem.

adjust one's mindset

There is a famous Zen saying: "The wind has not moved, and the sails have not moved. It's a heartbeat. " Psychologists say: the world in your eyes is the world you want to see; Your reaction is not only guided by external factors, but also driven by inner desires. Therefore, to relieve the pressure, it is really necessary to create a relaxed environment from the outside; More need to have a good attitude in it!

Be good at coping with work

Escape from work and talk about decompression, the work pressure is reduced, the life pressure is coming again, and the development pressure is coming again. As the saying goes, "press the gourd and you get the gourd." Work is necessary, and all our decompression measures are meaningful and feasible only if they are not lower than the existing performance or even exceed the existing performance. In other words, if our work is more efficient and effective, the pressure will naturally decrease.

enjoy life

People have to work to survive. Only work can create wealth for society; Only work can make a living; People can hone and develop themselves only in their work. But work is not the whole of life, life is not for work, work is for life. If we live only to work, then we will become the object of alienation. The correct attitude towards life should be: work while working, and live while living. And take enjoying life rather than working hard as the goal of life.

Master decompression technology

Man is a strange animal, who has figured it out in knowledge and may not be able to do it in behavior. For example, most smokers hate smoking, but they can't help it. At this time, you need to turn to other technologies. I don't know which one, but there must be one that can provide effective support for your decompression and relaxation to varying degrees.
