Stress impacts our health, productivity, and overall happiness.\u00a0 If it is your goal to have happy, healthy employees you\u2019ll want to consider worksite wellness programs that focus on decreasing stress and increasing wellness in the workplace.<\/p>\n

When in a stressful situation, the nervous system responds by creating more cortisol and adrenaline to act in the emergency.\u00a0 Stress impacts our cardiovascular system, musculoskeletal system, respiratory system, endocrine system and gastrointestinal system too.\u00a0 Your heart rate increases, muscles tighten up, you breath faster, your adrenal glands try to manage it all and you may experience nausea and irregularity as a result.\u00a0 If measures aren\u2019t taken to mitigate stress in your life, symptoms will progress and disease will set in.<\/p>\n

Three ways to reduce stress in the workplace are:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Prioritize<\/h4>\n

If tomorrow\u2019s tasks are prioritized at the close of every business day, you\u2019ll walk into your office the next morning and immediately start with what\u2019s most important.\u00a0 Often, our stress comes from lack of preparation or focus.<\/p>\n

After prioritizing tasks, identify opportunities where you can delegate additional tasks that pull you from your focus and productivity.\u00a0 Release the need to have to do it all and empower one of your team members to take on a new role or responsibility.\u00a0 It will help everyone grow and succeed.<\/p>\n

Create a Supportive Environment<\/h4>\n

To reduce stress in your life, you\u2019ll need to create an environment that honors your time, priorities and healthy lifestyle.\u00a0 Setting healthy boundaries will minimize interruption and support you to be most productive.\u00a0 Silent your notifications, use free apps to help you track your time in 25-minute work increments, take necessary breaks throughout the day, and schedule specific times into your calendar for email and phone follow-up.\u00a0 Multitasking is not a productivity tool; get focused and complete one task or project at a time without all the interruption.\u00a0 Less interruption equals less stress.<\/p>\n

Be sure to communicate your healthy boundaries to your team and direct manager.\u00a0 Share how you\u2019ve carved out time to decrease interruption and increase productivity.\u00a0 You\u2019ll be an excellent role model for others and allow space for your team to do the same.<\/p>\n

A supportive environment includes taking regular breaks to refresh your thoughts, relax the mind, and decrease cortisol levels for a calm return to your workday.\u00a0 Schedule regular breathing exercises, stretching, walking and fresh air into your day!<\/p>\n

Release the Need to Please<\/h4>\n

There\u2019s a big difference between doing your best job and depleting yourself so much you no longer have anything left to give.\u00a0 Most of us are people pleasers; we say \u201cyes\u201d to everything and then worry about what others might think or say about our efforts.\u00a0 This is called the \u201cneed to please\u201d and if it is your goal to lead a healthy life, it must go.<\/p>\n

You can work hard, stay focused and excel in your career and still say \u201cno\u201d when needed.\u00a0 Before making any decision, ask yourself \u201cWhat will this provide me?\u201d.\u00a0 Consider your investment of time, energy, money and the return you\u2019ll receive because of your efforts.\u00a0 Simply asking this question will allow you to step back for a moment, and make a conscious choice to feed your healthy lifestyle, or potentially cause stress in it.\u00a0 You and only you will know what is right for you, at that specific time, with everything else you have going on in life.<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve taken time to make a supportive choice, let\u2019s address the response of others.\u00a0 It can be challenging to accept how others respond to you, or your choices.\u00a0 One way to alleviate stress in your life is to silently grant others permission to respond however they need to respond.\u00a0 Giving permission doesn\u2019t change how they\u2019ll respond, or make them do what you wish they\u2019d do.\u00a0 It releases you from worrying about how they choose to respond to you or the situation.\u00a0 Always do your best, make choices that serve you well, and give permission for others to respond as they wish.\u00a0 By doing so, you\u2019ll feel free from the worry and minimize the stress in your life.<\/p>\n
