Stop Stressing Out Over Work

  • E-mails piling up?
  • Behind on voice mails?
  • In meetings all day long?
  • Not enough time in the day to get your work done?

This sounds like your typical worker or business owner, doesn't it!

Why do we do this to ourselves? Is it because we love our jobs / business so much that we put ourselves under these crazy amounts of stress in hope of getting some work done? Or do we hope that by participating and overextending ourselves that we will make a name for ourselves?

Whatever it is for you, there is a reason. But, does it actually help your professional career / business one bit?

No WAY!

By getting backlogged, you become less productive and more stressed.

We really need to stop stressing out over our work and relax.

It's not worth it to be stressed. Stress has been linked to many diseases, such as cancer. The next time we find ourselves stressed out and behind in work, try doing the following:

1. Relax and take deep breath. (This is the reality check moment)
2. Prioritize your list. (This is the planning moment)
3. Do what you can in the order. (This is the execution moment)

Slowly but surely you will get caught up and will become less stressed. Sure, you will get stressed again, but what you decide to do when you begin to feel stressed is what really matters. Don't let stress take over your life.

Stop stressing out over work! If you don't, you will always be stressed and will never be happy with what you do.

Since we spend half of our awake hours working, why not make it a good experience.

Dedicated to your success,
