Managing stress & anxiety at work.

-


 Stress and anxiety at work can be detrimental for any professional’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Left unmanaged, it can lead to lack of concentration, lowered morale, increase in absenteeism, and even health issues. It is important to recognize, diagnose and address any signs of heightened stress or anxiety at work. Here are some ways to manage stress and anxiety at work. 


Firstly, it is important to identify the triggers that cause stress and anxiety at work. Possible sources of such triggers can include, but are not limited to, excessive workload, unclear expectations from one’s superiors, lack of resources, uncooperative collaboration and conflicting goals. Once identified, the sources of stress and anxiety can be better managed. 


One effective strategy to reduce stress and anxiety at work is to practice good time management. It is a good idea to plan out one’s day and prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. This can help cut down on unnecessary stress and make it easier to stay organized. Additionally, learning to delegate tasks can also be of help to an individual in managing stress and anxiety at work. 


It is also important to take regular breaks throughout the day. This can help the individual relax, re-energize, and come back to the task with a refreshed focus. Instead of sitting at one’s desk, taking short walks, reading a book or playing a game can help limit the spike in stress levels. Along with this, it is also helpful to practice mindful breathing techniques, engage in relaxing physical activities, listen to music, or speak with a trusted friend. 


Finally, there are many helpful auxiliary aids one can use to keep stress levels in check. Biofeedback and meditation applications, for example, exist for this purpose. Other e-resources and websites contain useful tips and techniques for stress management. It is helpful to seek help from mental health professionals who can guide individuals on the best practices to manage stress and anxiety and help them better cope with their problems. 


Overall, managing stress and anxiety at work is important to allow smooth functioning and healthy professional growth. With the right strategies, it is possible to prevent, or at least limit, the effects of stress and anxiety on performance.
