Be aware of your purpose in life...
We all have been through that scary
situation of having too much work to do in too little time. Heavy work load and
extended hours drive us mad and all employers seem to want to squeeze the
maximum out of their employees.
Occupational stress is a silent
killer. Rising feeling of guilt, poor concentration, criticism and lack of
breaks push an individual to the brink of depression. You can change it and
make it a pleasure by adding a little humour into your daily life. It not only
helps in reducing stress but also makes you more creative and diffuses tough
situations. Exercise will also help in keeping you energetic. Also, focus on things that are more important
and reduce time spent on low priority tasks.
Any type of work can be made more fulfilling
if it is done with simplicity and present moment awareness. You don’t have to
go to anyone; it’s there within you; you just need to become aware of yourself
and your purpose in life. You will be able to work with much more happiness and
efficiency if you discover there’s a perspective bigger than your worries.
To avoid burnout take a break and
get good sleep. Being regularly short of sleep can affect your concentration,
energy levels and efficiency. You will be more prone to making mistakes and
will become less proactive. You will be amazed by how sharp and energetic you
will feel once your body gets enough rest. Taking up an enjoyable sport or
hobby could help reduce stress.
Vacations are also important as it
gives an opportunity to take your mind off work. Remember, stress is not a sign
of weakness or incompetence; it is simply the body’s reminder that it needs
some rest.
