Stressful moments

Image result for stressfulAccording to the Cleveland Clinic, Stress is the body's reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. The body reacts to these changes with physical, mental, and emotional responses. Stress is a normal part of life. You can experience stress from your environment, your body, and your thoughts.

Working on projects at work can raise your stress level. Doesn't matter if you have a desk job, delivery job, warehouse job, senior level job, retail job, restaurant job or even as a student. Especially during peak times or seasons. Every one is busy. Don't let it get the best of you because some times your reaction can be negative.  I want to share some techniques I use to handle stress at work.


  1. Acknowledge you can't do everything. Admitting this is the first step. I am process management driven. I am a person that wants to get every project done and on time. I do know if it is too much, I can't do it all.
  2. It is OK to ask for help or advice. Try not to get stuck too long on a task or assignment. Ask for help if you can or advice from a colleague, coworker, or classmate.
  3. Take a break. If you work you have a break take a breather. Normally, I take a walk outside.
  4. Pace yourself. Know how to multitask at your own pace but get your work done on time.
  5. Take small mental breaks. If my project gets overwhelming, I usually take a small break, help someone else, or play a game on my phone.
The thing is to know when you are drowning in work. Don't stress yourself out it is not good mentally or physically for your health. If you are a person who always has to take work home to finish, you may already have too much on your plate. Take a load off and try some of these techniques. Overall, still get your project finished on time with less stress.
