Workplace Stress Or Work Life Balance
Concerned about Workplace Stress?
Are you working in a fast paced
and demanding, environment? A workplace full of stress?

‘spinning your wheels’ working
longer and harder just to stay in place?

Quick Stress Busters you can even share with your kids
Use them on a regular basis
and you’ll also be rewarded with a flood of creative ideas. It’s
like taking a vitamin pill for your mind.
First a quick Brain Gym™ trick:
Ideal for those days when it feels like your office has a revolving
door … with one person after another … the phone is constantly ringing
(which is probably a good thing) and you have so many thoughts flying
around inside your mind feels like the world’s busiest airport at 8:30
on a Monday morning!
Cooks Hook Up is a two minute technique guaranteed to relax and refresh
your mind, lower your heart rate and allow ideas to land where you need
them. Here’s how:
-
Cross your
ankles.
-
Stretch your arms
straight out in front at shoulder height, with the backs of your
hands touching.
-
Look down and
notice which ankle is on top.
-
Now stack your
hands with the matching hand on top (if the right ankle is on top
the right hand goes on top. If the left ankle is on top the left
hand goes on top.)
-
Slide the top
hand down and interlock your fingers (I know it is counter intuitive
but stay with me.)
-
Bend your
forearms in toward your chest (elbows down) and relax your
shoulders.
-
Check that you
are now sitting, ankles crossed, hands interlocked and resting
against your chest.
-
Finally take a
deep breath and simply hang out.
After a minute or two, you’ll notice your
breathing is shifting lower in your chest, slower and deeper. Two
minutes will calm your mind. Clear away the competing facts flying
around in there. Let yourself relax and feel the stress drain away. And when you’re
done, you'll be able to focus again on what is really important to you.
