Stress Management

Stress streeeessss... that's what people often complain about. Sometimes this is considered trivial or something that is given naturally and is impossible to control or avoid. As a result, many people surrender and just accept the situation. If our subordinates or colleagues are stressed, doesn't this have an impact on us (directly or indirectly)?

According to surveys, stress causes work accidents and increased absenteeism rates, decreased productivity, fatal heart disease, and increased medical costs. The consequences of stress can be psychological: anxiety, decreased creativity, inferiority complex, forgetfulness, over-sensitivity; also physiological: easily tired, excessive sweating, allergies, dizziness, stomach ulcers, menstrual disorders; and changes in behavior: daydreaming, smoking, drinking, irritability, stuttering, impulsive shopping.

Any business needs to be seriously aware of the consequences of this stress and cannot turn a blind eye to it. At least even if we are
You can't eliminate it, but you can try to reduce its causes and impacts.

One way to control stress is to carry out appropriate time management. Many people experience a lack of time even though now there is a lot of technology that can increase our work efficiency. Let's try to detail the use of our time so far, how much is really effective and how much we spend on trivial things. Several calls, SMS, emails and meetings sometimes take up time but are not that important. Delegate routine and less important reports to subordinates. Use the right technology to manage our time. We don't have to attend all meetings, we don't have to answer all emails immediately. Examine which tasks can still be postponed and which are really urgent.

Sports and recreational/relaxation activities are also alternatives to relieve stress or at least increase it
our body's resistance to dealing with stress.

Socializing with other people is also a stress reliever. Someone can channel their feelings to friends who are willing to listen patiently without judging or giving judgment.

A patient complained to his doctor about the disease he was suffering from even though he was exercising regularly and
adopt a healthy lifestyle (watch your food/drink, don't smoke). Doctors say there is one cause: STRESS.

But I can't help but think, I'm not a selfish person!this might be the answer from someone who
just received the advice "Never mind, don't think about it anymore". Many of us feel that we are responsible for other people's problems and feel that thinking about ourselves is a negative action. That's why there is often the term "stress-free people".

I recommend trying to think about yourself for just ONE DAY, or if you can't, an hour
just. Concentrate special time to think about yourself. Thinking about yourself does not automatically mean harming others. Making yourself happy makes people close to you happy too. Who wants to be around a moody/angry person? Who wants to be friends with
stressed person (even though he is a good person)?

The "obligation" to make everyone happy makes us stressed.
Expecting other people to have the same opinion as us will also make us stressed. Examine ourselves, what beliefs have been shackling us? Are we so obsessed with being "good people" that we
frustrated when people don't appreciate our kindness or don't think we're good?

One more thing, helping other people can also mean making yourself happy. Make a donation to
those in need are also actions that make us happy. So avoid the view that making yourself happy means harming others and vice versa. Life and this world are God's gifts and God certainly does not want us to fill them with stress and sadness.
