STRESS CAN BE HARD TO LET GO…
Stress increases when you don’t give yourself the chance for an adequate amount of sleep at night. Do you find yourself waking up with ideas about work swirling around in your head? You then can’t get back to sleep. Then try these simple but effective stress management and stress relief strategies.
STRESS MANAGEMENT FOR WORK, LEAVE IT THERE
If your work is stressing you out, then you don’t need to be bringing it home with you as well.
Never pile work papers, reports, etc next to your bed. Clear your bedside tables of any work material and leave your work at the office. Make sure that work related material is certainly not the last thing you read before going to sleep. These stressful habits are a sure-fire formula for your mind to dwell on work related issues and ensure a restless, disturbed and interrupted sleep pattern. If you do read, then choose a light enjoyable novel to read before going to sleep.
STRESS RELIEF AND YOUR BRILLIANT IDEAS
If you still find yourself waking up at night thinking about ideas for work or other areas of your life. Keep only a pen and pad next to your bed. Immediately scribble down the ideas on the pad and then go straight back to sleep. The ideas will now be out of your head. You can be look at them again in the morning when you are refreshed from a night of stress free sleep.
