Tips For Dealing With Stress In This Economy
According to a recent article from the Mayo Clinic, stress involving work activities is more likely than from any other cause. In small doses, stress is a good thing. It can energize and motivate you and perhaps even prevent or delay certain types of damage to your cells. But prolonged or excessive stress — the kind that 
overwhelms your ability to cope — can take a severe psychological and physical toll.
Coping with stress is easier when you identify your stress triggers, manage your time well, and take steps to curb burnout. Here are some tips you can use:
Identify the source of the problem. Whether it’s an unrealistic workload, lack of marketing success, inadequate income, or a hostile work environment, you need to figure out what’s making you miserable and then take steps to deal with it.
Develop both business and social friendships. Sharing unsettling feelings with people you trust is the first step toward resolving them. Minimize activities with “negative” people who only reinforce bad feelings.
Take time off. Take a vacation or a long weekend. During the workday, take short breaks.
Set limits. When necessary, learn to say no in a friendly but firm manner.
Choose battles wisely. Don’t rush to argue every time someone disagrees with you. Keep a cool head, and save your argument for things that really matter.
Have an outlet. Read, enjoy a hobby, exercise or get involved in some other activity that is relaxing and gets your mind off work.
Seek help. If none of these things relieves your feelings of stress or burnout, ask a health care professional for advice.
