🌟 How to Deal with Workplace Anxiety 🌟
You don't have to silently suffer; you can conquer anxiety at work. Here are a few tips to help you manage excessive worry during your workday.
🧐 Identify the Possible Cause
Anxiety often manifests as increased heart rate, sweaty palms, chest tightness, concentration issues, or a stream of negative thoughts. To cope with an episode, you need to understand what triggered it.
🤔 Spot the Moments of Escalation
Determine when your anxiety tends to escalate. It might occur during your commute, conversations with colleagues, or when you're assigned a new project. Try to find straightforward solutions.
🧩 Find Simple Solutions
Once you've pinpointed the triggers, devise solutions. For instance, if you're having trouble with a colleague, have a conversation and set boundaries. If your commute frays your nerves, choose a different route. Such solutions can help you regain a sense of control over your mental state.
🤯 When You Feel Anxiety Creeping In, Ask Yourself Two Questions
Develop a strategy to handle anxiety. "Find a peaceful place where you can 'reset.' Isolate yourself and analyze your thoughts. Ask yourself two questions: 'How do I feel right now?' and 'What happened today that brought me to this state?'"
🌄 Adjust Your Daily Routine During Non-Work Hours
Establish a habit of caring for your physical, emotional, and mental health. Take evening walks with your dog, enjoy a café outing with a friend on Fridays, or engage in intense workouts. 🚶♀️🏋️♂️
