blood pressures 10% higher than those who are
not experiencing job-related stress.

 There is no way to avoid stress, but
you have a choice to react in a
healthy way.
 Stress is a circumstance, but you are
a force!
 3 possible reactions to bad situations

There are really only three possible
reactions to a bad situation.
1. Removing yourself from the situation.
2. Changing the situation.
3. Accepting the situation.

Step 1
Open a notebook and

Remove, Change, Accept.
REMOVE CHANGE ACCEPT
Step 2
Think of the 3 most stressful situations
in your current workplace.
These might include your salary, your
boss, your co-workers, reports, outputs,
expectations.
These are called stressors.
Start to put these stressors into each category.
Start with the bigger stressors, like your salary,
for example. You do have the decision to:
1. Remove yourself from your current situation
and find a better job.
2. Change your situation by striving to be
promoted to have a better salary.
3. Accept the situation that you are in.
Step 3
Once you have divided these stressors, write out 3- 5
action plans for each situation.
For example, if you plan to change an unpleasant

situation with a difficult co-worker, map out exactly
how you are going to do that.
 You may move your desk
 You may talk to your co-worker, or
 If it is really bad, see if you could talk to your
supervisor.
Remember: acceptance is not
necessarily avoiding!
Sometimes dealing with stress is as
simple as learning how to put your
frustrations and your problems into
proper perspectives.
Choose your battles. You can never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones…
 Congratulations, you have just
 identified your top 3 stressors, and better yet,
you know what you’re going to do to make a
difference, and that is a huge accomplishment.
 Because you transform negative elements in
your life into opportunities to reengaged and
grow.

Breathe….. Deeply.
 When you breathe deeply, the air coming in
through your nose fully fills your lungs, and
the lower belly rises.
 Deep abdominal breathing encourages full
oxygen exchange — that is, the beneficial
trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon
dioxide. Not surprisingly, it can slow the
heartbeat and lower or stabilize
blood pressure.
