When work becomes less enjoyable and more stressful, burnout
and irritability can set in. If
you are feeling this way, it is time to find new ways to manage your
stress. Here are 6 tips:
GET ENOUGH SLEEP.
When you are tired everything feels more stressful. Make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of
sleep nightly.
EAT WELL.
Keeping a balanced diet stimulates your mind and helps your focus and
concentration. Additionally,
protein has been shown to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression.
PRIORITIZE TASKS.
Being unorganized can increase stress. Organize yourself by setting small goals and prioritize your
tasks each day.
BE A TEAM PLAYER.
You and your coworkers can be each other’s greatest assets. Ask for help and delegate when needed.
TAKE BREAKS.
Not taking lunch or short breaks is a disservice to yourself. Allow yourself this down
time. You will be more functional
and feel less stressed.
ADDRESS CO-WORKER CONFLICT DIRECTLY. If you are having difficulty with a
colleague or boss, talk to them about it.
This is often scary for people, but keeping it bottled up will increase
your stress levels. Be assertive
(not aggressive) in working things out with colleagues. You’ll enjoy your job much more.
