Stress Finds You Everywhere
There is stress at you job and there is stress on the streets. That may sound like a corny line in some cheesy 80’s rock band, but it’s true. Every since I’ve started this blog I’ve noticed dozens of articles on reducing stress. I think it’s wonderful. People are seeing how stress relief techniques truly help our happiness and our health.
An article on Lifehack.org, Withstanding Personal Attack in the Workplace does an excellent job of explaining why stress reduction is so important.
Cultivate strategies for stress reduction. If I asked you to list the top four or five ways that you minimize stress, would you be able to populate your list? Do you have a menu of options for when work gets crazy and personal attacks chip away at your self esteem? Whether it’s jogging, meditation or reading a good mystery novel, stress mediation is no longer a luxury that we can afford to bypass. My advice: work on your stress reduction techniques and practice them each week. When personal attack comes up, your ability to handle the stress will be further honed.
Another Article at the Ririan Project, 10 Benefits of Power Napping, and How to Do It explains how napping can reduce your daily stress. I’m not much of a napper myself, but if I had a flexible schedule I would implement a regular napping routine to my day.
Less stress. Curling up in a sunny patch on the floor or even lying your head down on your desk for a quick snooze brings relaxation. Research found that stress hormone levels were lower in those who took stress-reducing actions such as napping. Take a break each day from the stresses and reduce your risks, find a quiet, comfortable spot and take a nap. Even a short power nap can leave you feeling refreshed, renewed, and more focused.
Stress relief should be at the top of your “to do†list every single day. When you can keep your stress low you’ll also notice your relationships are more balanced and positive.
