3 Steps to Reduce Stress at Work

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and overworked, you’re not alone. Stress at work is unfortunately one of the most common issues facing many employees in the U.S. Luckily, there are a few methods to reduce and manage anxiety at work. Here are three steps you can take to reduce stress at work and help improve your health and productivity.

1. Identify Your Stressors

The first step in reducing anxiety at work is to identify what is causing it. Many times, it’s simply the workload or the environment at work. Other times, it might be related to a lack of support from colleagues or management. To help identify your stressors, keep a journal. Write down the times when you feel most stressed, and then try to identify what is causing those feelings.

2. Develop Stress Management Strategies

Once you’ve identified the sources of your stress, it’s time to develop strategies to help manage it. One of the most effective methods for reducing stress at work is to take regular breaks throughout the day. Not only will this give your mind a break from the task at hand, but it will also help you recharge and refocus. Additionally, it can be helpful to practice anxiety relievers at work, such as deep breathing or mindfulness exercises.

3. Reach Out for Support

Finally, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Sometimes, anxiety can be too much to manage on our own. Talk to your colleagues or management about what you’re feeling and see if they can provide any extra support. Additionally, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, think about talking to a professional. A therapist or counselor can help you work through some of the underlying issues that may be causing your stress.

Stress at work can have serious consequences for your health and productivity, so it’s important to recognize and manage it as soon as possible. By identifying the sources of your anxiety, developing stress management strategies, and reaching out for help, you can take steps to reduce stress at work and help improve your overall well-being.

4 Ways Nature Can Improve Your Mental Health

Mental Health

It’s no secret that spending time in nature can improve your mental and physical health.

A cool breeze. Warm sunlight touches your face. Just a couple of minutes of looking at green space in your daily life can keep you healthy. Even if you are in a city setting surrounded by steel, you can still benefit from a brisk walk around the neighborhood. 

Here are four ways that nature can improve your mental health: 

1. Makes you more creative

Taking breaks outside can improve creativity because it allows us to be more open-minded. Just being out in nature also gives us more time to think about what we want to do next versus focusing on everyday tasks like checking email or answering phone calls at work (which often stifles creative thinking.) This means we get better results. So, unplug from tech every now and then and reset your own mental focus and creativity. 

2. Improves your mood

Spending time outside makes us feel happier and more positive about life. “Spending time in nature has cognitive benefits, but it also has emotional and existential benefits…” says Cynthia Frantz, PhD, professor of psychology and environmental studies at Oberlin College. This is because natural environments make us feel connected with other people, animals, and plants around us. Going for walks with your favorite companions is a great way to maintain mental and physical health. 

3. Makes you nicer

Sometimes sunshine and fresh air are exactly what the body needs to process data and communication. Many studies have shown that those who engaged in outdoor activity collaborated better afterward. These behaviors are present from grade school children to business professionals. They cooperated faster and made more empathic decisions. 

4. Helps you relax

Quality time in nature creates a calming reaction that reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. Greatly decreasing the risk of mental illness and social and sleep disorders. Take a moment for yourself. Enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds produced by nature.

It’s so easy to get caught up with work and personal obligations. However, you need to remember to take breaks and go outside. So, get out there and explore! Your body and mind will thank you!
