Indian Journal of Training and DevelopmentSummary: A physician is not required to tell a person that when his or her stress level is out of control. If a person stands up to face the stress, he/she can calm the throbbing heart and bursting brain. Experts now say that by bringing more of oneself – the personality, ambitions, ideas and beliefs – to everything one does, a person feels more confident and in control. His/her superior may throw yet another report to write or set a totally irrational target. One feels so distressed that productivity declines. The solution is to do some unloading. A person knowshis/her job better than anyone does. When one takes a closer look, one may discover that his/ her personal assistant could open the mail or the new project team may not really require one’s help. In other words, we underestimate our power as individuals to change our environment. Another way to tackle the stressful day is with a time-out plan, says Daniel Stamp, a Canadian management trainer. If a person is in the office, he/she may close the door and screen his/her calls. One must remember to slot in stress-relieving time for himself/herself every day, such as eating lunch away from the desk, taking a walk or having an evening out with friends or family to look forward to. – Reproduced
