How to Avoid Being Stressed at Your Job

Your job shouldn't be so stressful that it is literally affecting your health. Yes, salaries are needed to support yourself and your family but you need to be happy with what you are doing. Too many people dread going to their jobs every day. If you find yourself needing to switch jobs and are ready to make a big career move, Your One Stop HR Shop is here to provide the Job Seeking Help you need. In the meantime, take a look at these tips on how to avoid being stressed at work.

How to Avoid Being Stressed at Your Job


Learn to manage your time VERY well.
Feeling like you don’t have enough time at work can be a top cause of stress. Combat this by managing your time more efficiently. Make a schedule and a to-do list. Do what you must do to get your job done in a timely manner.

Lean on your co-workers, family, and friends for emotional support.
Don’t let your feelings “bottle up” within you. Expressing them and venting occasionally is healthy, so reach out to your co-workers, friends, and family. Lean on those you care about in order to express your concerns. Just voicing your worries can relieve stress and better your situation. It can help you to stop overanalyzing a situation and relax.

Come up with a NEW coping system for stressful situations in the workplace.
It can be very easy to react emotionally when something doesn’t quite go your way in the workplace. Take a breath and take the time to calm your frustrations and think rationally before acting. For example, if you just learned the promotion you’ve been wanting, went to someone else, don’t throw a tantrum, take a breath. Everything happens for a reason and maybe there’s an even better promotion out there for you, it’s just not the right time yet. Try to find the positive in that situation. You know what they say, “if it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger.”

Make your health a priority and don't let a stressful job make you forget about it.
Sitting in an office 40 hours a week or more can be draining and it can be very easy to forget to just take care of yourself.

Make friends at work.
You most likely see your co-workers more often than you see your family, at least in waking hours. It’s important that you get along with them and feel like you can trust them.
