Stress manifests itself in many ways — physically, mentally and emotionally.
Deadlines, workload and low pay only are a few factors that contribute to stress and subsequent workplace burnout, which can lead to emotional exhaustion, feelings of bleakness or feelings of helplessness.
A new infographic from bestmedicaldegrees.com examines which countries and workers are most susceptible to stress and burnout as well as ways to determine if it’s time to take a vacation, develop a better work-life balance or seek new employment opportunities.
In addition to knowing where your stress comes from, it’s important to know how to reduce it. Here are some additional pointers:
Stress can take a huge toll on you mentally and physically, and if you have a lot of stress, you’ve likely already experienced how it affects you. Limit stressors in your life- we only get one! If someone is causing you stress, limit your time with them so as not to expose yourself to their negativity. Doesn’t matter if they’re friends, family, etc. Negative people are negative people, and constant contact with them WILL affect you. Don’t let it, create space. Find an activity that gives you solace and do it often. When doing this activity, actively make it your “safe space”, where only loving, thankful thoughts are welcome.
Remember- EVERYTHING is figure-out-able. Some things require more creative solutions than others, but welcome the answers and look for the signs around you. They’re there, be vigilant. You’re a human being, you can do anything.
Yoga or meditation. Try it, it helps immensely. When you’re at home with family on your down time, be PRESENT. Put down the phone and immerse yourself in the love and miracles around you. No love or miracles? Actively bring positivity and happiness into your home, it’ll affect every area of your life in a good way (and your family’s, too!) Take vacations, you earned them. It’ll never “be the right time”, we have to make it the right time.
