Resilience Part 4: Stress at work_2


This is a summarize and some tips I have heard about to control stressed situations and I would like to share with you. I hope it can be helpful.

 


Taking Steps to Manage Stress:

Track your stressors.

 Keep taking notes for a week or two to identify which situations create the most stress and how you respond to them. Write down your thoughts, feelings and information about your environment, including the people and circumstances involved, the physical setting and how you reacted. Did you raise your voice?

Taking notes can help you find patterns among your stressors and your reactions to them.




Develop healthy responses. Instead of attempting to fight stress with fast food or alcohol, do your best to make healthy choices when you feel the tension rise. Exercise is a great stress-buster. Yoga can be an excellent choice, but any form of physical activity is beneficial. Also make time for hobbies and favorite activities.

Whether it's reading a novel, learning new things or playing games with your family, make sure to set aside time for the things that bring you pleasure.  Getting enough good-quality sleep is also essential for effective stress management. Build healthy sleep habits by limiting your caffeine intake late in the day and try avoiding activities, such as computer, television and smartphone use, one hour before sleep.

 


Establish boundaries. In today's digital world situation, it's easy to feel pressure to be available the full day. Establish some work-life boundaries for yourself. That might mean making a rule not to check email after your work schedule if it's not an emergency, not to connect from home in the evening after work hours or not answering the phone during dinner. Creating some clear boundaries between these realms can reduce the potential for work-life conflict and the stress that goes with it.

No to multitasking If there is one thing common to all work environments it is multitasking: we all end up doing fifty things at once as if we were an octopus.

Self-reflection on my way on the Radar Programme

  Self-reflection on my way on the Radar Programme          I have used the Gibbs' Reflective Cycle technique to do some self-reflection and analysis of my time on the Radar Program this year.   v Description A year ago, in October 2019, I was sent an email informing me that the one-year Radar Programme would be launched, consisting of a talent search, learning, skills development, monthly webinars of experts on the topic of the month, activities, awards, and much more, for Fujitsu employees across Europe. To be nominated, you had to have at least 3 of the 6 ingredients in their Secret Sauce: - Customer Empathy - Thrives in Constant Change and Responsibility - Self-Awareness - Open & Global Mind Set - Unbounded Curiosity - Technically Gifted   At that time I thought I had 5 of the 6 ingredients, the only one that in my view did not meet was "Technically gifted", and that, although my level of English is not very high, it would help me to p

How to use feedback constructively

  How to use feedback constructively How often does your boss give team members feedback on their performance, only to find out later that nothing has changed? Does he take it for granted that he has given the indications clearly and directly? However, does it sometimes seem that the message is simply not received well or at all? The Feedback Matrix is a tool that encourages you to examine both the positive and negative aspects of feedback. It challenges you to connect the feedback with what you already know about yourself and with what you did not know and should explore more fully.   Responses to feedback Have you ever observed how people around you respond or react to the feedback they receive? Usually, these responses are: - They accept the negative part of the feedback but try to excuse themselves or blame others for the problem. - They focus on the positive part and use it to reinforce what they already knew to be true. This reaction can sometimes be because they sh
