Are you god?!!!Markt85 said:Phil Meup said:Years ago, a therapist told me to properly separate work & non-work.
At the end of the working day, put something of significance away in a drawer & close it. Mentally note it. That signifies work is finished & you should be able to get on with other things.

Dunno if already suggested but I find exercise and humour are the best for stress relief.
And it doesn't cost a penny. Although you can pay for both if you want.
You win some, you lose some. :)

I handle stress pretty well as long as it is short duration. I get ulcer sores in my mouth as a result of stress. As long as it doesn't go on for weeks on end, I'm ok. But when i start getting the ulcer sores, I know I have to change something. I deal with stress in two ways, alcohol and exercise. I try exercise first. Sometimes going out for a good 10-12 mile run or 50 mile bike ride helps me get my head on straight. If that doesn't work, I surround myself with friends as best I can and drink quite a bit more. Thankfully that doesn't happen often or I would have an alcohol problem. As it is, I merely have an exercise problem.

I'm sure someones mentioned in the last 9 pages that there's a significant difference between pressure and stress. I actually find working under pressure and being stretched stimulating. It's when pressure can't be managed turns into stress that it becomes an issue.
Work does not stress me out in the slightest, I do not do a job that has anything major riding on it, I work in HR. There is always tomorrow to sort something out.
I get stressed more at home over little things like the kids making a mess and not doing out to tidy it up. I know the mess and their lack of effort does not mean much but I cannot get over the fact they always do the same thing. They are now 15 & 17, so I try to remember what i was like at that age but I had a dad who when he said jump I asked how high.

Which,ironically,can be stressful in itself.
Do you have any issues with food as a consequence?

On a serious note, I've just undergone the most stressful 6mths of my life, or so it feels. Redundancy in December, unemployed for the first time since I was 18, 36yrs ago. Starting a new job in February should have meant an end to the stress but it just magnified things, I had worked from home for 10yrs, visited the office a couple of times a year, now I'm office based and travel 44miles a day, no big deal but added to the new environment and actually working with others, well it was really difficult, still is some days, office politics etc, does my swede in.
Expectations of me were high as I was recommended to them, so far I've managed to deliver but I'm on my limit every single day, worried that I'm overlooking things, also that I'm overdoing things, it's been tough and I don't expect that to change any time soon. The better I do the more they will expect, it's a young man's game I work in and I'm running rings round them, which in itself brings problems, can't win...
I won't be packing it in though, just hoping I will grow to like it and settle down over the summer.
this is a great thread by the way.
Was tongue in cheek mate, although it ain't great if you're used to a bit more going on, sleepy town, we do have the Salt Museum though.........
Agreed, great thread, I've taken a few pointers myself.
