Stress relief.....we're supposed to wear a little device that is going to tell us when we're stressed and help us breathe through it.....WTF? In theory its a good idea, but we work in a stress filled environment who is managed by a stress carrier. Until she unloads her bag full of stress, we're destined to forever carry the load of stress she so thoughtfully dumps at work.
Now here are some stress relievers for work that I'd happily embrace:
Bring your dog to work Fridays; coffee stand available throughout the day at Admin; burning the dress code; a room with massage chairs for 15 minute breaks; a snack machine; 4 day work weeks; have a suggestion box and actually take the suggestions into consideration; 1 vacation that is required every quarter - paid of course;
Stress relievers that actually work away from work: reading a good book; emailing a good friend; back rubs from my husband; Friday nights at Gonzo's; not talking about work when I'm NOT at work; snuggling in bed with all my four legged friends; doing something nice for someone else without being asked to; Sunday morning church; Red Beers; scrapbooking; being honest; weekends away and still not talking about work; and planning a vacation with good friends that is coming up fast......and NOT talking about work the whole time we're away!!
Stress is a natural part of everyone's life......you either carry it or you're the one they are giving it to.....I choose to not to give stress.....and I'm working on how to keep others from giving me theirs.....there has to be a trick.....
More Love, Less Stress!!!!
