5 steps to Manage the Christmas blues
The Australian Psychological society’s stress and wellbeing in Australia survey (2013) has indicated that Australians are reporting higher stress levels and stress which can lead to illness, burnout, lost productivity and more. The Festive season often leads to stress. The following steps can help keep stress levels in check to ensure you start the new year on a positive note;
1. Identify the warning signs- once you recognise them try to extricate yourself from the stressful situation
2. Identify situations that trigger stress and reduce their frequency- Managers can do a lot to mitigate stress for people who work for them, recognise peoples contributions through the year, avoid the push at the end of the year to clear the deck. Take a step back and work out what actually has to be done, what is a priority and what is a ‘nice –to-have’
3. Monitor negative self talk- put a positive spin on your language, it may make things easier to bear.
4. Look after your health- exercise, avoid excessive drinking and try to get between seven and nine hours of sleep a night.
5. Invest time with people you care about who care about you- avoid surrounding yourself with negative people, this can heighten your stress levels.
