First of all, keep your home problems locked while you’re at work (and just the opposite). Do not worry about things that are not going well at home – this will make you less concentrated on your tasks and will only add additional problems to your list while doing no good at all. If you have to worry about anything, do it once you leave the office.
Another thing you should do is to avoid people that make you feel stressed. Don’t chat with them and communicate with them only if necessary. Do not think too much about what they will think of you – you don’t have to care about them, you only have to get your job done. If you can’t avoid contacts, just deal with it the best you can and don’t worry about it after you do your job.
Remember that different jobs have their own kinds of stress that should be dealt with in different ways. For example, if you run your own business venture, the stress usually comes from not knowing if you were right or from fear of the unknown. If you work for a company, the main reason of stress is your team and/or your boss. Some jobs, like being a doctor, are known to require a lot of responsibility, others like a bodyguard or policeman are dangerous to one’s health. Do not believe in universal methods that can get rid of stress regardless of the kind of work you do.
However, most work-related problems involve other members of your team. Most often the stress is related to expecting you to meet impossible goals or one that can’t be achieved simultaneously. In such situations, try to discuss the problem with your manager and try to find a working solution both for you and him. It might be hard, but it is still much better than saying “ok” and then producing something best described as “junk”.
Lack of work can also be stressful, just as being unable to find the job you like or finding a job you know nothing about. The problem is that there are no magic solutions to them. These are natural situations that occur to anyone and the only thing you can do is solve the underlying problems. Do all you can to de-stress yourself (physical activities, healthy food, support of others) and just do it. There is no other way.
