Hello,

Dear khulood, thank you very much for your nice question.

The some factors such as meditation, relaxation, doing massage, listening to music, changing your idea, deep breathing and specially "thinking to your love" are more effective to reduce of your stress during the work.

Thanks,

Dear Dr Khulood,

The people who work and deliver, are loaded with more work.

To take care of work overload , one need to delegate the work.

Systems and processes need to be simplified, so that most of the routine work is taken care by processes and mostly new requirements, deviations if any need to be taken care.

This will improve efficiency of the system and reduce stress.

- Take a break from your regular activities,

- Find some 5 minutes or so recess/ on the balcony or if breaks are strict, in a bathroom

- Take some water

- Listen to Loud rock or low volume soothing music (depending on preference, I like loud rock through my head sets)

- Be mindful always that you are at work and observe regulations as much as possible as you still want to keep the job

Depending on the culture and regulations of the job, these may vary or completely be inapplicable to some.

Dear , Dr. Khulood,,,

To reduce stress : We must stay away from problems and conflicts, work with optimism, stay away from bad persons, take a break from regular and routine work and be comfortable and relaxed at all times.

Regards.

Thank you Dr. Yehya for your response, informative answer.

Stress at the workplace has become an increasing phenomenon due to external factors such as technological advancement, changes in the economy of a country which might lead to becoming redundant and so on. Stress can be considered as an inevitable condition at least at one point in time or another; however it can also be minimized to the extent that the productivity and health of the employee is maintained which could lead to a productive organization.

Stress is also bound to occur in multinational companies where operation is global and employees have different cultural background .

Best greetings.

The causes of stress at the work place range from personal problems to work overload, physical working environment, work situation and conflicts among colleagues and managers. Many employees struggle with stress, in worst cases leading to uncertainties and severe impairments on health and performance.

Hi, Khulood ,,,

The main situations that generate stress are likely uncontrollable, unpredictable, and some are not known. But alternatively there are several resources available like personal awareness in coping skills. For example: time management, assertiveness, ways to higher up self-confidence and so on.

With best wishes...

Stress is related between the employee and the employer as the performance of the employee is affected by his/her stress level which intern affects the company’s productivity. Therefore stress management is Vital for both. The most successful stress management mechanisms found was time management, sharing of feelings and leisure activities.

Stress alone is not a medical state, rather it is the vulnerability to stress that leads to mental disorder. “A study made by Institute of Psychiatry found that people with high-stress jobs have twice the risk of developing serious depression or anxiety compared with others in less stressful occupations .

Stress from the work can affect employees regardless of gender, position or type of employment. If one looks around and scans the research on stress and mainly stress at workplace, one discovers that stress is settled among the workers as an inevitable factor.

Good evening dear Dr. Khulood .

Stress is linked on to one’s ability to manage the recourses, environmental demands and some other unknown shortcoming to the process while doing an activity, but if it looks as a general subject then it would be evaluated as an unpredictable phenomenon.

With appreciation.

Stress and its relation with the business world is that if not handled well it might lead to illness and also increase the time offs taken by employees.

1. Track your stressors.

Keep a journal for a week or two to identify which situations create the most stress and how you respond to them. Record your thoughts, feelings and information about the environment, including the people and circumstances involved, the physical setting and how you reacted. Did you raise your voice? Get a snack from the vending machine? Go for a walk? Taking notes can help you find patterns among your stressors and your reactions to them.

2. 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, going to concerts 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 important for effective stress management. Build healthy sleep habits by limiting your caffeine intake late in the day and minimizing stimulating activities, such as computer and television use, at night.

3. Establish boundaries.

In today's digital world, it's easy to feel pressure to be available 24 hours a day.

Establish some work-life boundaries for yourself. That might mean making a rule not to check email from home in the evening, or not answering the phone during dinner. Although people have different preferences when it comes to how much they blend their work and home life, creating some clear boundaries between these realms can reduce the potential for work-life conflict and the stress that goes with it.

4. Take time to recharge.

To avoid the negative effects of chronic stress and burnout, we need time to replenish and return to our pre-stress level of functioning. This recovery process requires “switching off” from work by having periods of time when you are neither engaging in work-related activities, nor thinking about work. That's why it's critical that you disconnect from time to time, in a way that fits your needs and preferences. Don't let your vacation days go to waste. When possible, take time off to relax and unwind, so you come back to work feeling reinvigorated and ready to perform at your best. When you're not able to take time off, get a quick boost by turning off your smartphone and focusing your attention on non-work activities for a while.

5. Learn how to relax.

Techniques such as meditation, deep breathing exercises and mindfulness (a state in which you actively observe present experiences and thoughts without judging them) can help melt away stress. Start by taking a few minutes each day to focus on a simple activity like breathing, walking or enjoying a meal. The skill of being able to focus purposefully on a single activity without distraction will get stronger with practice and you'll find that you can apply it to many different aspects of your life.

6. Talk to your supervisor

Healthy employees are typically more productive, so your boss has an incentive to create a work environment that promotes employee well-being. Start by having an open conversation with your supervisor. The purpose of this isn't to lay out a list of complaints, but rather to come up with an effective plan for managing the stressors you've identified, so you can perform at your best on the job. While some parts of the plan may be designed to help you improve your skills in areas such as time management, other elements might include identifying employer-sponsored wellness resources you can tap into, clarifying what's expected of you, getting necessary resources or support from colleagues.

Also , disruption to regular duration of sleep and a lower capacity to maintain a regular personal routine are identified as stressors in isolated community. Physical inconvenience can be related to discomfort in working conditions such as noisy environment created by engines, passengers crowdedness, intolerable high temperature, working close to chemicals and working away from radiation of sun can cause a person to feel uncomfortable.

Good question

Parker & Ettinger, 2007 mention that The major factors of stress are likely present as a lack of control over a situation or an event, uncertainty, ambiguity or a poor performance related to expectation level .

Parker, M., & Ettinger, R. H. (2007). Understanding Psychology, 2nd Edition, Redding, CA: Horizon textbook Publishing.

According to CIPD (2008) the symptoms of stress are mentioned as increasing alcohol intake or smoke excessively and interference with sleep CIPD (2008), Building the business case for managing stress in the workplace. Stress management.

Be relax and go away to spent a nice day then enjoy .

Stress also causes disturb in sleeping habits, insomnia, chronic headache, loss of concentration, memory weakness, fatigue and unwilling to eat, drink, talk or work.

Regards .

Take three deep breaths.

Those who have interest in work will hardly feel fatigue and he will continue to work even ignoring stress.

Dear powerful and respected Khulood Obaid,

1. Clarify your job duties and responsibilities. Do not over commit your self when carrying out your job duties.

2. Set scale of preference for

your duties and give priorities to those duties that make the top of the scale of preference and be organized and plan ahead in carrying out your duties.

3. Develop how to relaxed your mind.

4. Ensure you start your day with good nutrition, exercise, good mood, proper planning and positive attitude.

5. Avoid engaging in gossiping and conflict act in your work place.

6. Ensure working in a conformable and quiet workspace.

7. Be more social to co-worker, family and friends. Having a solid support from co-worker, family and friends can help buffer you in fronting the negative effect of job stress. Also offer support when they are in need as well.

8. Learn how to delegate responsibility. You don’t have to do it all yourself.

9. Avoid skimping sleep.

10. Try to find a balance between work and family, life, social activities and daily responsibilities.

Stress can be good or bad . A good stress motivates us to work physically & mentally hard to complete the project & there is tremendous satisfaction at completion of the job , though one may be exhausted at the end of it . Negative stress is due to problems from peer groups , senior faculty members & lack of support from administrators , which interferes with your work . One should learn to avoid the negative stress by concentrating only on your job in a quite manner & avoiding confrontation with the above mentioned groups .

Thank you so much Dr. Singh Shivakumar for your good and valuable advices.

Good luck
