How do you deal with extreme stress on the job?

Question

What do you do to release your stress on and off the job? How do you cope everyday without getting sick?

Answer 1

don't take on anyone else's stuff...remind yourself, unless you are an ER doctor, nothing is so urgent it is worth getting sick over...
deep breathing...
if things are getting super crazy I remember that in the grand scheme of life and the universe it really is no big deal...or as a former co-worker put it...we are simply a speck on the speck of a giant..

Answer 2

I was thinking this morning what the odds of success would be playing Russian Roulette, but with 5 rounds in the chamber instead of one, and realized it was all dependent on how I defined success.

This was while attempting to deal with job stress.

Instead I'm on Answers, not dealing with job stress.

Answer 3

Stress is just blocked emotions.

Emotions are ENERGIES IN MOTION in our bodies.

Every time you don't allow yourself or you aren't allowed to fully experience an emotion, to feel it, and to move through it, the energy of that emotion becomes stopped and blocked in your body. It remains blocked until you go back and re-experience that emotion. Then the energetic block is freed and cleared. Virtually all of our physical ailments come from energetic blocks in our bodies, energetic patterns that are connected to our emotional patterns

One good way to get rid of stress is to use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) or Emotional Tapping. In EFT you apply gentle acupressure tapping to specific body points to release blocked emotions. EFT is easy to learn (you can learn the basics in 15-30 minutes). You can use EFT anytime, anywhere for any emotional or physical issue.

Please download the FREE EFT Instructional manual from the EFT website (www.emofree.com).

I learned how to use EFT last year and now use it everyday. EFT really works, fast and painlessly.
