Inclusion Infusions: Stress Less!
Posted on Friday, March 27th, 2020
Many of us are coming to the end of our first week working from home, with the added ‘help’ of four-legged and underage ‘co-workers’ – while trying to support our teams and learners, and deliver on our many work commitments. Sounds like a recipe for stress! Stress plays a big role in how we feel, on our mental state and on our overall mental health and well-being in all areas of life, and work can have a significant impact on our stress levels. Check out this 3 minute video from the Canadian Mental Health Association to learn all about stress: https://youtu.be/bVQ3BnYw51o
This week I’m pulling resources from Not Myself Today that will help you identify, manage and reduce negative stress at work. By accomplishing this, we’re building greater resilience to help protect against the effects of stressful environments. By building greater resilience, we are more likely to perceive demands as challenges rather than threats, and ultimately, are better equipped to cope with stress that comes up.
Understanding the stress levels we are experiencing can help us to better manage our stress. Take this 10 question quiz now to monitor and manage your stress levels. You can also access it through the online portal at not myselftoday.ca/create-account Access Code: ENULEM
