Stress at work is inevitable. Hard to achieve targets, overbearing bosses are some of the reasons for the increased stress in work place. There are some of ways of reducing stress at the workplace.
When you feel stressed out talk to a colleague, share a joke. Humor is one of the best stress busters.
Exercise is another stress reliever. Take a walk. Few minutes out side the building, a change of environment will do wonders to relieve your stress. If you have a park next door it is even better. You can jog in the park for a few minutes.
Have a cup of coffee, drink a glass of water. Relaxing few minutes away from the work environment will invigorate you.
Another great stress buster is a short nap. This is possible for people who work at home.
Yoga and meditation are great stress busters. Meditation takes your focus away from the cause of stress and helps you to relax completely.
Pets often are great stress busters. There is nothing like having a dog at home. Even a pet cat or a budgerigar would be of help in reducing stress.
Go away on a holiday with the family, to a holiday spot. The fun and frolic will help you rejuvenate.
Several small girls in a class were shown two pictures. One picture was that of a person chopping wood and the other was that of a person reading a book. They were asked to identify who was at work and who was relaxing. All except one girl identified that person chopping wood was working and the person reading was relaxing. The teacher did not know the father of the girl who had identified the person chopping wood as relaxing, was a scientist who chopped wood for relaxation. And she was marked wrong.
It all depends on an individual as to what relaxes him. You have to identify what relaxes you.
If nothing works if you still think your job is stressful you can consider an alternate job.
