Physical Problems With Work Stress

The farm was a great environment when I was growing up. The animals taught me a lot about the ways emotion can either be shown or held back. Animals only reflect how they actually feel.

Human beings seldom make this show of emotion so apparent. We either deny how we actually feel, or we pretend due to the setting we're in at any given point in time.

It's not often you come across an animal with high blood pressure or heart related problems.

That leads me to wonder just how much we contribute to our own health problems.

I get a lot of feedback about job related stress. "I'm exhausted and sore at the end of the day, even though all I did was sit in front of my computer." Or "I don't doubt my hypertension started when my job got so stressful."

It's amazing just how hazardous modern life can be - even in an office atmosphere. Stress related problems account for over a million absences per day.

Job stress has become such a global and prominent issue that high dollar conferences and corporate training are devoted to the topic.

There are a few less expensive ways to work through the problem.

I suppose one could quit his or her job.

That could be a nice immediate solution, but the financial burdon would create an entirely new problem for most people.

We can however, incorporate some fairly basic tips into our work day.

We can start by determining some logical limits. This means, occasionally having to turn down additional projects or favors.

This is addressed specifically to the population of people who are so driven or eager to please, that they will not allow themselves to reject unreasonable requests.

What are the consequences if I don't grant this particular favor?

Also, remember that it can be okay to ask for help yourself. If you manager, co-workers, friends and family are asking for help - maybe there's something to this.

Stop. Walk away from your work environment for just a bit. Walk slowing and without trying to problem solve along the way. Don't set up a destination - just walk and try to clear your mind for a few minutes every hour if possible.

Also not new - eat well. Eat healthy foods that will provide your body with the stamina and energy you seem to be lacking.

Remember to use good posture. The last thing you need on top of other job stress is a sore back.

Practice deep breathing. It doesn't require leaving the work space but will add oxygen which will also make a big difference to how you feel.

Stretch your hands. Your fingers need a break too. Stretch your hands out with your fingers widespread. Imagine the stress leaving your body as you exhale through your fingertips.

That will help especially if you do it regularly.

When you leave work, REALLY leave work. Change your mental thought process from "work mode" to "relax mode." The ride home will be much more enjoyable as will your evening.

I also highly recommend my all natural programs for many of health related problems.

Currently offered are: The High Blood Pressure Program, Weight Loss Breeze Program, Fibromyalgia Program, Stop Snoring Program, Migraine and Headache Relief Program the Dizziness and Vertigo Program and soon to be released is my Insomnia Program.
