    HOW TO MANAGE STRESS- BEST GUIDE

    By Maverick JohnMay 31, 2025No Comments5 Mins Read

    Stress

     Stress is any situation that makes you feel emotionally
    uncomfortable and psychologically disturbed.
     Most stress occur as a result of how we relate to our
    fellow human beings.

    Stress may come from:
     Financial / marital issues
     Ill-heath, joblessness etc.

    Effects of stress
     Hypertension
     Stomach ulcer
     Obesity
     Alcoholism
     Infertility
     Marital discord

    Zones of stress

    Stress occurs most often at two places:
     Your home
     Your workplace

    Causes of stress

    We relate to our fellow human beings through
    communication:
     Verbal–what we say (words)
     Non-verbal–how we behave.
     Communication friction/ineffective communication is the cause of most stresses
     You can avoid stress by learning how to communicate and behave better both at home and at the workplace.

    Watch your words.
    They can eat you up
     Words are powerful
     Use them wisely
     What you say is important;
     How you say it, is even more important.
     In the courtroom, you are judged by what you say.
     Your words can put you in trouble, and
     Your words can also get you out of trouble.

    At Home

     Your spouse is the most significant source of stress in your house.
     Endeavour to build a good communicative relationship
    with your spouse.
     Discuss important issues with him/her including your
    vision for the family (where do you want the family to
    be in the next 5-10 years?).

    Managing stress at home

     Resolve not to say anything in anger, especially in
    response to your spouse.
     It may cost you sleepless nights.
     Support your spouse materially and emotionally, and
     Never take them for granted.
     Give your spouse the benefit of the doubt
    If you are close enough to your spouse,
     The children will naturally find their level.

    Pull your spouse up

     To maintain a meaningful communicative state with your
    spouse, pull him or her along the social ladder as you climb
    up.
     It is not everybody who can pursue academics, so find out
    what your spouse like doing and support him or her to be
    among the best in that field or vocation.
     It boosts confidence and makes communication between
    the two of you easier.
     Compromise when it is necessary to bring peace and
    harmony in the house.
     You need that peace of mind to concentrate on your
    activities at the workplace; make it a priority.

    At the Office

     Your boss may be the most significant source of stress
    at the workplace.
     Learn to do your job well enough to be respected.
     Engage your colleagues in meaningful communication:
    1. Focus on the reason for the discussion.
    2. Communicate emotions in person.
    3. Listen more than you talk.
    4. Simplify your messages.

    Have a vision

     If you know where you want to go with your career, you
    will be less stressful at the workplace.
     Have a vision for your career
     Find out what you need to do to realise your dreams at
    the workplace.
     When you are focused on a vision of being at the top
    management level in the next 5-10 years, you will not
    be distracted by small issues like office chairs.

    Define your friends

    Your colleagues at the workplace are not your friends:
     they are your business partners, at best
     your competitors, at worst.
     Focus on your job at the office
     Don’t bring your personal issues into the workplace.

    Avoid gossip (s)

     Don’t get involved in any unholy discussion about any
    individual at the workplace; either your boss or your
    subordinates.
     It may come back to bite you.

    Be loyal

     Don’t do anything to undermine the success of the
    company.
     Give your full support to the boss.
     He may not know as much about the business as you
    do.
     That is the reason why he/she is your boss.
     Respect the position the person occupies and it would
    be easier to respect the occupant of that position

     Work to make your boss more popular at the
    workplace.
     Refuse to do anything to undermine him/her.
     That means you should not challenge your boss in
    public/meeting place.
     Seek a private audience with your boss, if you have a
    different opinion about an issue he/she is passionate
    about

    Be professional

     Don’t compromise on your professional values even if
    that will cost you a position or your job.
     The company may put out damaging information
    about you, but the truth will eventually come out that
    you stood for what is right and got fried or fired
     You will get bigger and better job offers

    Leave work issues at office

     Resolve not to take office / work issues home.
     Don’t complain about your colleagues or your boss to
    your wife.
     Women are more emotionally courageous than men.
     They may come fighting for you and cause you more
    stress at the office.
