So what can you do? How can you escape it?
- navs 10y agoI don't know if this is for everybody but I've found a love of Muay Thai. It's taken me away from the computer and almost feels like I'm 'levelling up'. +10 stamina +10 agility. The other things I'm trying: - Daily meditation - Regular sleep routine. - Got rid of my smartphone - Ignore all social media - Unitasking with one screen, one task at a time This is some of the stuff I've been doing to help alleviate the stress that I put on myself. Might work for some, might not.
- cshep 10y agoI found that learning how and when to say 'no' to your boss is a great start.
- itissid 10y agoIs there some good reference on how might I do that?
- Jare 10y agoMy general tips (not always possible or applicable, but hey): - Highlight the cost of doing what he says. There is always a cost, but either you or him/her may be misunderstanding or miscalculating it. - Ask why it needs to be done. - Offer alternatives. - Keep in mind he/she has more to lose than you if the conversation goes bad. - Stay polite.
- davis 10y agoKelly McGonigal has a great book that talks about not escaping it but instead embracing it. I really recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/Upside-Stress-Why-Good-You/dp/1101982934/ https://www.amazon.com/Upside-Stress-Why-Good-You/dp/1101982...
- gerbilly 10y agoMindfulness meditation has helped me to to become more resilient to stress. Also learning to say no politely is of great help. I used to often say yes before I really knew what I was agreeing to.
