Career Stress Reductions

If you have a career, you know that stress is part of the game. You work when you're ill. You refuse to take vacations/time off. You miss family events. You've forced yourself to believe that the resulting stress is something that you must live with.

You CAN cope with stress better.

You MUST cope with stress better.

To cope with stress, you must adjust your attitude and be willing to make the tough decisions. This will lead to an easier, healthier, more fulfilling life in the long run.

Ways to reduce your career stress:

  1. Take control of your career. 
  2. Effectively and efficiently manage your time, on and off the clock. 
  3. Prioritize- and hold yourself accountable for making things that are most important to you a priority.
  4. Make an attitude adjustment.

  1. Sometimes, career stress is not a matter of not having control of your career, but having too much control. I say that if this is the case, relinquish some of the control to alleviate or at least reduce the stress.

  2. I think Wayne hit the nail with the hammer. I like to advise people to give up control and gain control. It makes complete since when you think about it.
