performance tips for stressed IT pros
1. Take a deep breath. You’ve heard this many times,
but here’s the thing – you probably don’t do it regularly. And it
works. Doctors, sports coaches, and therapists will tell you that a
deep breath, done thoughtfully, can do an amazing amount of good. It
can clear your head, stop headaches, reduce your blood pressure, and
make you less angry. That said, most people don’t do it regularly and
even less so during difficult situations. If you don’t, you’re wasting
a great opportunity to mellow out at any time and any place. for this you can do some pranayama exercises also.
2. Remember that, without an outlet, you will carry your stress in your body. It won’t simply go away because the immediate aggravation is over for the time being. It manifests in things like back problems or stiff necks. It gets worse the longer you don’t give your body the chance to get rid of it by doing something physical. So do something. It doesn’t have to be demanding, just rejuvenating. For example, yoga or meditation is a great exercise for anyone at any level. Dancing(!) is great even by yourself. Anything to deal with the stress in a physical way.
3. Good sleep is critical. Without it, be prepared to face the consequences of becoming more emotional and less reasonable and less productive and more foggy, which is not great for your job performance. You’ll also see signs of aging more quickly and have more aches and pains. Everyone has a reason why they can’t sleep, such as the environment (their bed, their partner). Or they’ll say they can’t sleep due to their stress. The quality of the sleep is the issue — not how much time you spend in the bed.
4. Consider your diet. How much we eat and what we eat. Both can impact one’s ability to perform at peak efficiency. We all know that when someone is overweight, it can create health problems, cause stress, and affect sleep habits. Additionally, a person’s confidence may go downhill if they start having negative mental conversations with themselves about what they’re doing or not doing to themselves. Underweight people can be equally as self-negative, of course. if you feel tired better to have fruits diet in week ends.
5. Quiet the mind. We actually can just stop thinking about all the bad stuff around us. And when we do, we feel positive and more relaxed, and we do more things to amplify those good feelings. Success breeds success, and usually when we’re on a roll, we do more of what we’re doing to improve our situation further. Stop tracking the news as much. I’m not suggesting that we put our heads in the sand, only that we understand that the news isn’t going to change a lot from day to day. You don’t need to be a news junky, reading every piece of bad news that is generated. What you feed your mind becomes who you are. better to read about good articles insist of stories and novels.
6. Help someone. It feels really good to help others. It creates a rush that is difficult to create in any other way. There are people in worse situations than you are, and you can volunteer your service. It doesn’t have to be a poor family down the road (although that’s a wonderful place to start) — it can be that guy across the cube who is struggling with something that you think is simple, or perhaps your aunt who never gets invited out for dinner because she’s a bit odd. This action helps improve your self-confidence and often improves your game at work.
A bonus tip: Express gratitude. There’s usually a couple of things that are good in everyone’s life. It’s valuable to focus on them. Regularly. Research on the subject indicates that being grateful for what we have is one of the primary causes of happiness and — here’s the big one — greater success. That’s right — those who are the most grateful for what they have in their lives enjoy more of those successes. Career, personal, and financial successes.
