Which is the best way to keep work-stress away?

Question

We get accustomed to the work related stress, though not to anything else. Many of us think that we're not stress prone, even if it is other way round. How shall minimise and then avoid stress? Suggest me the best ways.

Answer 1

Many of the basic placement rules of feng shui stem from just this understanding. Removing the irritation of bad design makes you more relaxed and open to creativity.
Simple tips

* Make sure you can see doors and windows from where you sit
* In a busy office avoid being near entrances unless it's your job to greet people - otherwise you will be distracted whenever someone comes in
* If you share your space with others, have agreements about where things go and what you won't tolerate
* Use your instincts rather than fashion to guide your choice of decor. Aim for colours that are sympathetic to the purpose of the room
* Eliminate reflections and glare from TV and computer screens
* Make sure you have enough insurance cover
* Replace poorly designed tools, furniture and equipment - if they don't do the job efficiently and are not a pleasure to use they will cause irritation
* Invest in ergonomically designed seating and ensure your desk and workstation are correctly adjusted
* If something intrudes on your concentration settle yourself about it consciously or your body's systems will continue to wonder about it
* Take frequent breaks and move around
* Make sure there are some pleasing natural things around you - especially if you can't see much outside
* Use an answering machine to limit calls to when you want to take them

Answer 2

A little bit of stress is in fact good,it warms us up and gears us to the task,it is known as Eu-stress.Beyond a certain point it becomes distress and that is bad. To overcome that:

*Do the job in which you are interested/have talents /aptitude in it; if you find yourself in a job which you do not like try discovering some interest in it ,after all everything is part and parcel of life,try relating tom it.Doing a disliked job is stress inducing.

*Do something often,at least one every day ,where you can pat yourself and get positive stroke from people around.

*Be in a relaxed state of mind and body always,it helps you think better,be creative and relate better. If has problem in relaxing,try Meditation,morning and evening for about half an hour,or, do some relaxing exercises so that it becomes a habit to body-mind to maintain relaxation.

* Cut down on salt and sweets, increase consumption of whole grains.

*Listen or practise music.

*Bring out the love hidden within you in abundance and just give it to everything and people without expecting anything,see a magic happening in you!!

See stress treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on page 42. Practice daily, one of the relaxation techniques on pages 2, 11, 2c, or 2i; whichever works best for you, but the mindfulness breathing for 15 - 20 mns is ideal. Employ the EFT version for use in public, for which you can reasonably claim that you have a headache, as you massage your temples. Pages 3.c at * and 2, 2.q and 2.o refer. You can also multitask, using the gazing technique, as you walk/jog or exercise, by focusing on a distant object, noting any thoughts which flash accross your mind, without pursuing any particular train of thought, just gently redirect your focus to the gazing. Take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil, in the winter months, and eat healthily, in accordance with your "nutritional type" as determined at http://www.mercola.com/ TASKBAR
