Stress Management: Stress Overload and What to Do About It

Author: Jeff Herring

Signs of stress overload

Hurrying everywhere, walking, talking, driving faster, trying to get it all done.
Feeling depressed, bored or apathetic the majority of the time.
Feeling chronically dissatisfied with life, no matter what you do or try.
Different eating and/or sleeping habits.
Becoming a slave to time saving devices such as cell phones and email.
Valuing how much you get done rather than how well you do it

The good news is there are may ways to manage and master the stress in your life. When you catch yourself on stress overload, here are some coping strategies you can use.

Strategies for mastering stress

Say no when you mean no when if your dance card is already full. Keep a 3x5 card in your desk drawer with the work NO printed on it in large black letters. This will help you say no when you are struggling with that powerful two letter word.
Give up the victim role. Take responsibility for your part in the stress.
As Clint Eastwood said: "A man's got to know his limitations." Remember that you are human and have limits on your time and energy.
Take good care of your machine. Eat, exercise, sleep.
Organize your time.
Take mini-vacations. Whether it's a 10 minute break or a three day get away, taking a break can be incredibly refreshing.
