How to Manage Stress at Work

If the thought of going to work gives you anxiety and makes your stomach turn, you have too much stress at work.  Most people will experience a normal amount of stress at work but it should not affect your physical or mental health.  It is important to learn effective strategies to manage stress at work.  Here are a few tips to manage your stress at work:

• Address the problem – if your stress is due to a bad relationship with a co-worker or supervisor, than arrange a meeting to discuss how you can resolve the problem.
• Set realistic goals – sometimes our stress is due to over committing.  Try not to schedule too much in one day.
• Keep a positive attitude – one thing you can control is yourself.  Responding to situations in a positive way can help reduce stress.
• Exercise – start a regular exercise routine.  Exercise releases hormones that relieve stress and promote a sense of well-being.

Excessive stress at work can affect your performance and health.  Try some of these strategies to manage your stress at work and help you stay focused and productive.
