Stress — it’s all in your head, right? According to new studies, scientists have documented exactly how stress damages all of the body systems. We now know that too much stress can cause premature aging, weight-gain, and sickness. But keeping up with the life’s demands while avoiding stress has become even more tricky with time… now we bring our cell phones to the beach, and our laptops on vacation. Stress is everywhere, but since a robot that relaxes for us has yet to be invented, we really must do things to manage stress on a daily basis.
Dr. Mao, author of Secrets of Self-Healing offers many tips for reducing stress on the job. His top three tips are:
1. Slow down and be in the present. It is natural to believe that the harder you work, the more you will get done. However, though it may seem paradoxical, if you work at a slow and steady pace with full awareness, you will most likely turn out better work with fewer mistakes - and feel better while doing it!
2. Set boundaries. Are you the go-to person for every favor and question that is needed in your workplace? Learn to respectfully set your boundaries and say no. Also, take a look at your calendar and make sure you are not over-scheduling yourself after work. Write in one night a week for yourself, and treat yourself to a tai chi or meditation class, a bath, or just an evening curled up with a good book.
3. Remember to breathe deeply all day. Most people who are under a lot of stress or tension breathe shallowly, up in the throat area. When you breathe deeply into your lungs, you are naturally bringing in more oxygen and activating energy in your body.
