Review your lifestyle
It is important to take action at a personal level and to review your lifestyle to see if you can identify any contributing factors. A simple checklist might include:
- eating on the run, or in a disorganised manner
- rushing, hurrying, being available to everyone
- smoking, or drinking excessively
- doing several jobs at once
- missing breaks, taking work home with you
- having no time for exercise and relaxation
Remember some stress is actually good…
Stress
‘revs up’ the body thanks to naturally occurring performance enhancing
chemicals like adrenalin and cortisol. This heightens ability in the
short term, but there is a limit…
However, if you are suffering
from the symptoms of low mood, anxiety and stress it's very important to speak to someone - a
family member, friend, supervisor, manager or someone else you feel
comfortable talking to.
Making small changes and taking the time to just talk can make a huge difference.
