Coping with Stress at Work: How to Take Control
Speak Up – If you feel like something is stressful or wrong in the workplace, address the situation. Talking to a supervisor can help clarify the issue and provide possible solutions.
Find A Support System – Having people you trust and confide in can make a huge difference when dealing with stress. Having someone who understands what you’re going through and supports you emotionally is essential for maintaining mental well-being.
Take Breaks – Regular breaks throughout the day can help rest your mind from all your tasks and allow you to decompress after stressful situations. Even if it’s just five minutes every hour or so, getting away from work and taking time for yourself will make all the difference.
Set Boundaries – When we feel overwhelmed by our workload, it’s easy to overextend ourselves to please everyone around us. Setting boundaries with coworkers and managers is key to effectively managing your workload.
