There are two main sources of Work Stress:

such as heat and cold or from stressful psychological environment
conditions such as abusive colleagues.
2- Internal stressors: This originates from your physical body ailments
such as infection or psychological problems (e.g. worrying about
something)
Why you get work stress:
How do you know that you have work stress?
• Failing sick often
• Having sleep difficulties
• Loss of appetite
• Poor concentration or poor memory retention
• Bad temper
• Anti-social behavior
• Emotional outbursts
• Food, alcohol or drug abuse
• Nervous habits (chewing fingers)
Should you notice any of the signs above, consider the following:
• Think why you are stressing yourself. Life is too short.
• Resort to religion if that is an option for you.
• Talk to a friend about the reasons. If you identify the reasons,
removing the stressors is a step away.
• Identify the type of stressors affecting you
• improve diet – check for lack of B vitamins and magnesium. Talk to
your doctor on this issue.
• Reduce or stop the toxin intakes to your body such as cigarettes,
alcohol. Both might seem to temporary relief your stress, but they are
working against you in the long plan to fight stress at work.
• Exercise, Exercise, Exercise
• Know your capabilities at work. Don't try to control things that are
uncontrollable. Instead, compromise and adjust.
• Use relaxation methods such as yoga, meditation, massage, fresh
air, anything that works for you is what makes you feel better
Do this at work to relief your work stress:
1- Drink lots of Water (4-8 a day, make 4 of them at the 8 hours work).
2- Avoid Dehydration (Less Coffee, Coke, Red Bull, Juice…)
3- Keep a water bottle at hand, this makes it easier to grab.
4- “Answer nature calls”, go to the toilet when you have to (This usually
happens when you have lots of water (the good)
or a cup of coffee (bad due to dehydration)
5- Walk around the office, go outside for fresh air if you can.
6- Have a Fresh fruit (not the messy ones.)
7- Avoid the air-condition.
