The work pace can become intense, but stress and fatigue should not be constant in your routine.
We want to help you make your routine lighter through reminders that dealing with work stress can be more practical than you think. Lightness and effective strategies for handling high demands can also be your colleagues.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a psychological theory with strong scientific evidence that aims to structure practical solutions to help people face their problems in a healthy way. A popular strategy is coping cards.
Coping cards can be used as more visible and easy reminders, providing practical information on how to deal with stressful situations.
At a moment when you are feeling good, inspired, and relaxed:
- Write down on a piece of paper the main thoughts that cause you stress, anxiety, or sadness in your daily life.
- Right below these thoughts, reflect and write down the advice you would give to your best friend if they were experiencing these emotions.
- Keep these messages that help you cope with stressful situations in a visible place in your work environment.
Some important reminders to help you build your coping cards and deal with stress at work:
Take a break
Take short breaks throughout the day to relax and recharge. It can be a quick stretch, a walk, or simply closing your eyes for a few minutes.
Organize and prioritize
Keep an organized task list and set clear priorities. Breaking down large projects into smaller steps can make the work more manageable and reduce the feeling of overwhelm.
Establish boundaries
Set clear boundaries between work and personal life. Reserve time for activities that relax and energize you outside of the work environment.
Cultivate relationships
Foster positive relationships with your coworkers. Having a support system in the office can make the environment more enjoyable and help you face challenges more easily.
Practice self-care
Set aside time to take care of yourself. Engage in physical exercise, get enough sleep, eat properly, and find activities that bring joy and relaxation.
