LOH182: Managing the stress that comes with the job
When it comes to handling job stress, I try to take a proactive approach to maintain my well-being. I prioritize self-care by setting boundaries, taking breaks when needed, and practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or mindfulness. Additionally, I make an effort to communicate openly with my supervisor or colleagues about workload concerns or deadlines to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
While I generally deal with job stress well, there have been times when it has caused health discomfort or tension within the family. During particularly busy periods, I may experience physical symptoms like headaches or fatigue, which can affect my overall well-being. Additionally, the stress of work can sometimes spill over into my personal life, leading to tension or irritability with loved ones.
I am a teacher by profession so I have to always be at work during school periods. But if given a job that will require me working in an office, I would prefer to do my office work from home. Remote work offers flexibility and allows me to create a more comfortable and conducive environment for productivity. It also eliminates the stress of commuting and provides a better work-life balance, allowing me to spend more time with family and engage in self-care activities.

Hello my friend, I think that currently, remote work is so fashionable, as you told us, while we work at home, stress tends to reduce and we have more time for ourselves. Thank you for participating, greetings and blessings.
I know from my daughter in law who is a teacher at a private school, that workloads can be overwhelming. She takes work home to work on as there isn't time enough in the day to finish.
My neighbor is a teacher as well and she too, will bring things home to get them done.
I know from my own job as an optician and office manager of a private owned optical business, there is a lot of stress and definitely not enough time to get things done. I've not managed well with the stress, although most people cannot tell I'm stressed. I am taking another approach to it this past week and will continue to view it in the same fashion this week. So far, it has helped de-stress and be able to enjoy my weekend.
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely week!
It is never easy and work never gets done because there is no time.
Thanks a lot.
You are very welcome! Take care and may we both see the light at the end of the tunnel!🤗💜
I think most of us would go for the 'work from home' it saves us a lot of stress. Keep enlightening students and doing an amazing job✨
Yea, thanks.
A friend of mine got to do her work from home during covid time. She was like it was better to go office than to be at home. There are more distractions at home and so you cannot perform optimum at either of the domains.
Well, every thing comes with its own unique challenges.
We should be mindful about how the stress is msking its impact on us. As soon as we find it reacing a beyond the limit, we should respond with ultimate care to ease our mind and body
These practices of yours are ideal for relaxation. I admire the fact that you prioritize self-care routine that is to say you are so intentional about your health and that is something beautiful.
Yes I am, you have to be in good health to function properly.
