Useful Tips For Dealing With Stress At Work

It’s 2 a.m. and you’re flat on your back in bed, thinking about the pile of papers in your office inbox. You’re worrying about the presentation you have in the morning, and whether it will cause your boss’s general annoyance to balloon into outright irritation. You wonder if you shouldn’t forgo sleep altogether and practice the PowerPoint one more time. Your heart is racing, your stomach is starting to clench, and you know sleep is impossible.

A certain amount of workplace stress is inevitable, but when anxiety permeates your personal life to the point of affecting your body, mind, and relationships, then it’s time to take stock of the situation. No matter how boxed-in you feel in your job, you are not powerless. By employing a few coping methods, your reaction to anxiety can be modified.

Put Yourself First
A solid night’s sleep, three nutritious meals a day, and regular exercise can go a long way toward mitigating the physical aspects of stress. Feeling at your physical best also promotes mental clarity. Arriving at work alert and energized can make attacking that overflowing inbox feel less like a chore and more like a challenge.

Get Organized
Work is limitless, but time is not. Stealing a half an hour before your day begins to list priorities, and then sticking with the plan, can be an efficient way to ensure you’ll get things done. If you have a large project, break it into smaller tasks and then consider what you can delegate.

Use Your Words
Communication skills are vital in the workplace hive. Learning how to express your concerns in a positive way, promote reasonable expectations, and delegate tasks without dumping will not only reduce your own workplace anxiety but will also promote a sense of office community. Check out these wise and proven communication strategies: http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2011/11/21/how-to-communicate-effectively-at-work/.

If workplace stress becomes chronic, or you feel unfocused, have memory issues, or feel you just can’t cope, consider seeing a therapist for a neuropsychological or vocational evaluation. A vocational evaluation may open up possibilities for a more exciting and less anxiety-inducing career. A neuropsychological evaluation may reveal a subtle and as-of-yet undiagnosed disability that could be the root source of your anxiety. If so, such an evaluation could be the first step toward documentation of the need for workplace accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

More Steps for Managing Your Child’s ADHD

Having a child with ADHD can be a frustrating experience for both you and your child. We talked about 7 steps to managing your childs ADHD in our last post but wanted to give you some more tips. Your child’s school will encourage you to place him or her on a regime of medication, but there are other methods which you can use in addition to medication to help manage your child’s ADHD.

A Positive, Healthy You
Running, running, and more running is what a parent of an ADHD child does all day, every day. All that running around will eventually run you down. In order to maintain a positive attitude, you must keep yourself healthy by eating well, getting plenty of sleep, and, most importantly, making some time for yourself.

Be Honest
Do not try to hide the truth from your child. Your child already feels different and apart from other children. He or she knows there is something going on, they just don’t know what that something is. By explaining the disorder you are allowing your child to take part in the management of it.

Set the Tone
Explain to your child what behaviors are and are not acceptable. By telling him or her in advance, you are letting your child know that they have a responsibility when it comes to monitoring behavior. Set your expectations and don’t waver from them.

Structure
ADHD children must have structure. Set routines, as much quiet as possible, and organization are of the utmost importance when dealing with ADHD. Once your child settles in to these routines don’t alter them without first letting your child know.

The Right Foods
Eating right is important not just for you, but for your child too. Get rid of fatty foods, high sugar content, and start your child on a daily vitamin and mineral supplement in order to help control some the ADHD signatures.

Movement is Important
Encouraging your ADHD child to move around sounds counterproductive, but studies have shown that ADHD children who take part in organized sports burn off a lot of that pent up energy. If you can’t get your child interested in sports, organize family fitness by taking walks together or riding bikes.

Making Friends
This is super hard for ADHD children. Teach your child about social skills and help them to reach out to others. Join an ADHD support group. This allows your child to interact with other children.
