STRESS MANAGEMENT

Know Your Triggers: Anything that leads you to feel higher levels
of stress, tension and anxiety.

Accessibility:

How much of your time you allow to be interrupted by

others. ---- You're not supposed to be universally available. ---

Digital gadgets and technology. --You have to reclaim a lot of time as yours. --Selectively Disconnect---

Your day can't be a constant never ending series of alarms, calls,

texts, mails etc. -

Turn off everything that will interrupt you for at least 30 minutes.---

Productivity goes up.--- More calm and more focused.---

Leave your office empty conference room etc.

Maybe take a little walk. Take coffee, sit and think at caf.

Mix up your location, choose a place that's quite. That allows you to
focus. When you disconnect from the pattern of behavior normally
associated with high stress.

Managing Interactions:

You have a choice for: * To avoid * about how to engage * To

connect with people
To avoid: who triggers your stress.

If you see in cafeteria don't sit near them.

When they chat you up in the hall politely resist.

About how to engage:

Don't talk about irrelevant points. Get to the point. Avoid from personal
chat.
If they start it don't engage. Redirect them politely.

To connect with who have a positive effect on you: Who make

you laugh, stimulate intellectually, who you share interests.

Time management:

Come to work early (45 minutes) --- Quite, stress reducing--- focus
and productivity.
Start the day with the most challenging task: Start with the tough
work, and when you done you'll feel much better.
Take 4 to 5 breaks each day: 10-15 minutes each--- 80/20 rule (%80
work, %20 play) for lower stress, higher focus, higher productivity,--use a few breaks to do nonwork activities. like;
Connecting with positive people
Taking a walk
Calling a family member
Jumping online to read that movie review.

Get creative :)

Making Positive Choices:

Diet and exercise: isn't about becoming a dietitian or marathon

runner. --- go small--- Choose 1 or 2 diet and exercise goals for the
year and then after success go up slowly.
Outcome Visualization: Visualizing yourself achieving a goal. To
spend a minute or two alone, quietly visualizing yourself achieving a
goal. Like in a movie see yourself being successful at what you do.
Fun and socially stimulating activities: those things that you
know or believe will make you feel happy and maybe a little more at
peace:
80/20 rule (%80 work, %20 play)
Positive emotions, positive identity, personal affirmation
Find time to be thankful: name things that are you are lucky to
have.-- at least once a week stop and honestly think anout this
things.

*** God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot

change,Courage to change the things I can,And wisdom to

know the difference.
