Remote Working - Dealing with Stress

We all have things in our life that we can't control. Things which causes stress, but there are many practical ways in which you can manage the amount of day-to-day pressure in your life. So even if you find you can't avoid a stressful situation, following a few of the tips below can help to reduce those feelings of stress so that they don't become overwhelming. First and foremost, consider your diet. Can you reduce or avoid completely caffeine, alcohol and nicotine? Both caffeine and nicotine's stimulant salmon increase your stress levels while large quantities of alcohol can be a depressant. Try swapping caffeinated and alcoholic drinks for water. Herbal teas or diluted fruit juices. Always remembering to keep yourself hydrated. Next, take a look at your intake of refined sugars. So many manufactured foods, even salad dressings and bread contain a large proportion of refined sugar which can cause energy spikes and crashes, which may lead to tiredness and irritability. A healthy, well balanced diet is the way forward. Stressful situations increase the level of stress hormones in your body such as adrenaline and cortisol. There's an evolutionary reason for that. These are the fight or flight hormones designed to protect us from immediate harm. When we are under threat. However, in the modern age, fight or flight is rarely the response we need, so there has to be an alternative way. Physical exercise is one way you can get rid of the excessive stress hormones and restore your body and mind to a comma state. If you feel stressed or go for a brisk walk in the fresh air, or consider doing some sort of physical exercise before or after work, or even in your lunch hour. Lack of sleep is a significant cause of stress, which in itself can be a vicious circle because stress also interrupts our sleep patterns. Don't just rely on medication to help you sleep. Make your bedroom into a tranquil Oasis and remove any reminders of things that cause you stress. Your laptop, work files etc. Cut back on caffeine during the evening and stop any mentally demanding work. A good few hours before going to bed. This will allow your brain to switch off. You could also try a warm bath or listen to some relaxing music. And don't forget to get your body in a routine by going to bed at roughly the same time each night. Have you thought about trying relaxation techniques? There are so many different ways that it's best to try some out and see what works best for you. Something as simple as self hypnosis repeating and focusing on a particular positive word or phrase such as. Calm, peace or tranquility will help you to relax. Choose the word that works for you and then simply repeat it silently again and again. Don't worry if you find it difficult to relax at first. Relaxation is a skill that needs to be learned and will improve with practice. It's good to talk just talking to someone about how you feel can be extremely helpful. It can distract you from your stressful thoughts and help release some tension by talking about it to another person. Talking helps to clear your mind and a friend, work colleague or a trained professional may help you to find a solution to your stress and help you to put any problems into perspective. Why not try keeping a stress diary for a few weeks? That will make you aware of those situations that cause you stress and help you to avoid them in the future. As well as developing better coping methods, just jot down the date, time and place of each stressful episode and know what you were doing as well as who you were with. Take the time to think about what has triggered your stress. On the surface. It may seem to be a problem that's impossible to solve, but if you learn how to find solutions to your problems will help you feel more in control and lower your level of stress. As a technique to help solve the problem, try writing it down together with as many possible solutions as you can think of. Then select the best solution and write down the steps you need to take to reach that solution. What needs to be done, how you can do it when you need to do it and where it needs to be done. Learn how to manage your time looking at a huge To Do List is a common cause of stress. The first step is to try to accept that you cannot do everything at once, and to prioritize and diarize your tasks. See if there's anything that you can delegate to others and make a note of which task needs to be done immediately. Move on to make a note of those which can be done during the next week, and those that you can think about even further in the future, perhaps next month, or just when time allows. This process itself can make an overwhelming and unmanageable task list much more manageable and spread out over a longer time period. But whatever you do, don't forget to include some extra time to deal with unexpected and emergency tasks as well as including time for your relaxation and well being. As we discussed earlier. If you find you have too much to do and not enough time in which to do it, then you need to be firm about not taking on any additional responsibility. If you can learn to say no to additional or unimportant requests, this will really help to reduce your level of stress and may also help you develop more self confidence. So many of us say yes to everything because we just want to help, and we're trying to be nice and to be liked. But all that means is that we find it hard to say no, and there are some people who don't like to say no because they're afraid of conflict, rejection or missed opportunities. It's important to always remember that these barriers to saying no at all, self created. Consider preparing some phrases which will help you say no, but still let people down gently. I'm sorry but I can't commit to this as I have other priorities at the moment. Now is not a great time as I'm in the middle of something. Why don't you ask me again at? I'd love to do this, but. And finally, make sure that you rest. If you're feeling unwell, whatever the pressures of work, do not feel that you have to carry on regardless, as you may find that a short spell of rest will enable you to get back to full health much faster.
