Don't Panic, Keep Calm

“The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.”

                                                                                                  -by William James.

As we move forward towards the world of advanced technology, we have to keep up the pace so we will not be left behind. This stresses us out.

 Stress comes from the following:

1. Death of someone close to you

2. Life Growth

3. Job

4. Illness

5. Heavy Responsibilities

Above are just some of the reasons of stress.

How will we ease stress? Actually this can be so easy...

You have to learn what triggers your stress. Once you know it, create steps to manage it. Each person has something that triggers stress.

Here's how to ease your stress:

1.    Manage Your Time.

If you are stressed due to your overwhelming work load, get a paper and pen then list down all your to-do’s and set a priority. Managing your time properly will help you lessen your stress making you an efficient employee.

2.     Adjust to Stressful People.

You cannot always please everybody. The best way to deal with people you hate is to accept who they are. Accept the fact that everybody has differences to deal with.

 3.    Share Your Thoughts and Feelings.

Keeping everything to yourself will stress you out. Look for something you can do to relieve it like writing a diary. Share to your trusted friends everything, speak your mind and release whatever is troubling you.

4.     Relax and Keep Calm

Stopping for a while as you drink coffee is a good thing. If stress leads to panic, the chances of mistakes are higher. Learn to stop and regain your composure.

5.     Stay Positive

Don’t stay in the dark. Open your doors and windows. Let the sunlight in and think of good things. If someone so dear to you has passed away, it is normal to be sad but it is better to remember that person’s happy memories if you were not given the chance to be promoted at work, it is okay to feel sad but remember all the good qualities and all the positive gifts you have.

Stress is manageable. You can always be happy. It is all in you. It is in your mind. It is how you perceive things. Nothing beats the mind. Your mind is powerful. Just believe in what you can do.
