Today, the management sphere is expanding its borders. Future managers are studying more and more competencies in universities. The requirements for the profession are tightened: the manager does not have enough knowledge of his field, he must also have the skills of psychology, be able to count, know the law, and so on. Responsibility is increasing. All this leaves a mark on poor managers in the form of stress.
Stress is the body's response to negative environmental factors. It can lead to a breakdown or even a mental disorder, so you need to be serious about this problem. Stress resistance is one of the dominant qualities of a successful manager. It consists in abstracting a person from various adverse effects. But how to learn to "keep your emotions in check"?
First, you need to be aware of the seriousness and global nature of this problem. For example, in Japan, there is even a state program to combat stress. Huge amounts of money are spent in the country on research and development of solutions to solve stressful situations.
Secondly, it will be right to find out the source of irritation. What is the point of avoiding problems if sooner or later they return anyway? You need not be afraid to look your problems in the eye. When it becomes clear what to deal with, then we can proceed to the next step: an action plan.
Thirdly, it is necessary to enlist the support of loved ones. When a person has “his own island of calm and harmony” it will be much easier for him to cope with adversity. A simple heart-to-heart talk with a best friend can turn the whole idea of a problem, which will prove to be a mere trifle.
Fourthly, it is important to make "rests". Man is not a horse; he cannot work forever. Rest is the best cure for stress. When a person is away from the hustle and bustle, he forgets about all his pressing problems, which, in essence, are not as important as life itself. The realization that there is still happiness on Earth is what becomes important.
Fifth, it is recommended that you recall the positive aspects of your life. When trouble happened at work, do not take it as the end of the world. After all, not work is your meaning of life. Remember that you have a loving wife, children. You enjoy your favorite football with your friends every night. Every summer, you relax in Cuba while drinking your favorite cocktail. After a series of positive emotions from your memories, the problems will disappear by themselves, and stress will not take you by surprise.
Thus, the stress for the manager is no different from the stress of an ordinary person. This problem can and should be fought by any suitable means.
