Some people sometimes feel fluctuations in their work performance due to tension and psychological pressure, which may make them feel the expectation of a collapse. So, how can they deal with such a thing? <\/span><\/p>\n situations, and remain steadfast in the face of them?.<\/span><\/p>\n There is positive stress that helps in completing required tasks on time, and there is stress that negatively affects work, which must not be surrendered to, such as being exposed <\/span><\/p>\n to small and frequent annoyances, or problems related to your job role.<\/span><\/p>\n Many of us suffer from symptoms of \u201cimpulsivity\u201d and the fear of slowing down, to the extent that we sometimes do not realize the extent of stress we have experienced until we learn how to get rid of <\/span><\/p>\n it through relaxation. Therefore, we review 10 mechanisms to reduce stress:<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Keep a journal for two weeks to measure your stress level. Simply acknowledging stress and affirming that you are addressing it is the first step toward making the required changes.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Clutter leads to stress because we know there is something that needs to be dealt with. It is like seeing a pile of tasks ahead of you, which creates a feeling <\/span><\/p>\n of confusion. Take some time to get rid of that clutter, and then you will find your mind much clearer.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Sitting up straight not only indicates confidence, but also gives you more confidence over time. Sitting in a slouched position makes you more fearful and stressed because <\/span><\/p>\n the brain responds to the body. This will help you improve your posture and your mood, thereby reducing stress.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Sharon Melnick says in her book \u201cSuccess Under Pressure\u201d: \u201cThrough regulating your breathing, you can break unconscious emotional patterns that are sustained through short <\/span><\/p>\n and tense breathing. Take several deep, conscious breaths throughout your day to prevent severe stress.\".<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n What needs to be done the next day, or how tomorrow's meeting will go\u2014for example\u2014can be a cause of unnecessary stress. Instead,<\/span><\/p>\n at the end of each workday, make a plan for what you will do the next day by preparing the ideas you want to share in the meeting and listing the tasks you will perform.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n If you check your email at night, for instance, you might find something that increases your stress. Therefore, you must set boundaries between your work life and personal life and stick to them.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n If you do not exercise regularly, make it part of your daily routine, even if you do it in the evening. Add some physical activity to your workday, <\/span><\/p>\n as a workout break reduces stress, even if it is just taking a walk during your lunch break.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Write down your best achievements and words of appreciation you receive from others on cards that you can keep on your desk or put on your wall. When you feel that<\/span><\/p>\n self-criticism is taking over, check your self-defense behavior by reminding yourself of those moments; this helps you stay positive while facing inevitable challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Watch funny videos during your break, or share funny stories you have experienced. Interrupting stress with laughter puts you in a better emotional state.<\/span><\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Lack of job satisfaction, few opportunities for advancement, and unclear performance expectations are major causes of stress at work. Therefore, make a plan for your career, talk <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.rowadalaamal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10-%D8%A2%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%AA%D9%82%D9%84%D9%84-%D9%85%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%AA%D8%B1-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D9%85%D9%842.png\")
