I wanted to do a piece on business and stress while building what I hope should be a great resource for people out there looking for somewhere to take a seat, take a deep breath and soak up some good, informative content. Stress can play many roles in our day to day activities, and seems to feel right at home in the business environment in particular. Time restraints on assignments, fear of failure or not meeting goals, even success can lead to stress in our jobs and businesses. Stress can be a barricade to clear thinking and good mental focus, so it is a clear difficulty in the business world, as well as our daily routines.
What Causes Stress?
Stress is absolutely necessary in living creatures, every person has a built-in gauge that controls our reaction to it. Psychologists believe stress and reactive emotions like it are embedded in human psyche from early primordial days and have evolved with us as part of a survival instinct. Of course, as the humans social environment has changed, so has triggers for stress. What might have been highly emotional and a critical event in the everyday life of someone 5000 years ago, such as hunting for prey or evading a predator, in these days may be the equivalent to researching statistics or dealing with an unreasonable boss. Food and shelter tend to be easily available in this day and age, where survival can be more aptly found on the job front. As a result, the body's response typically reserved for life-threatening experiences is turned on by life's mundane aggravations. Stress triggers -.
What Stress Can Cause
Increased levels of stress can lead to mental conditions such as feeling moody, tense or depressed. Stress has also been attributed to decreased capability of the 'reasoning' or 'logical' aspect of the brain lowering the decision making abilities while the emotional part of the brain turns to a more heightened state. This can mean less productivity and can evolve into a vicious cycle as you become even more stressed as your mental abilities decrease. Stress can also cause physical difficulties such as headaches, upset stomach, back pain, and trouble sleeping. It can weaken your immune system, that make it harder to fight disease.
Is There A Cure?
With all of the negatives that stress can bring, its good to know there are things you can do at home as well as at work to reduce the effects of stress.
Time management. Don't try to press those deadlines, provide yourself plenty of time to get the things you need done, and then don't put it off. You will feel much better finishing a project or goad beforehand and typically with better results.
Exercise. Exercise. Exercise. Its something we never seem to have the time for but is critical for stress management. Good for avoiding stress or, even when you experience anxiety I find just a walk around the parking lot or neighborhood can work wonders to relax my mind.
Get a good nights rest, eat well and take care of your body. Your physical self is affiliated in with your mental self.
Don't keep it in. Talk about what's going on with those who are willing to listen. Often times bringing a problem to coworkers or even your boss can relieve some of the worry by transforming the problem into a team effort. Humans are social creatures by nature, positive synergy with others can take some of the weight off your shoulders.
Break the cycle. Despite what your doing to cause a stress reaction will most likely not get better unless you change your direction. In fact, chances are it will only get worse until you decide to stop and tackle the problem from a different direction.
Time - Are We Really Slaves?
Time, we are all inevitably tied to it in some way shape or form. We are all mortal and have finite time, no matter how important we are or what status we hold. The idea of mortality can be a pretty stressful subject to some as well, or the very idea of not spending enough of it doing what we enjoy as apposed to the thing we must. Its and facet of life we all think of at one point or another. Its my belief that time is often an ally, and how you put it to use and the choices you make could be the difference between having sufficient time or none at all.
Most people are searching for better time and money saving and generating options, I recommend you take a look here if this can be said of you.
