Fight the Stress Monster

Stress is a serious problem, especially in the recruitment industry. Being an HR, you have to deal with stress more because you have many stakeholders — multiple bosses. The need to constantly juggle for meeting the demands of the organization and your respective bosses’ expectations is alarming. Simultaneously, as an HR personnel, you must deal with your own deadlines and hires.

 

The changing socio-economic conditions due to the pandemic is also making your life as an HR even more difficult.

 

It’s kind of very stressful, isn’t it? Let’s figure out some techniques to beat the stress.

 

Sleep like never before

 

Sleep deprivation can be the main cause of stress. If you are unable to sleep because of stress, you can listen to some alluring music. Even meditation music will help your nerves to relax, restoring your body and regulating your mood. When your mood and mind are lit up, there is no room for stress or any equivalent feelings. You can also develop a nighttime routine, by doing so you will be more organized, and your brain will accustom to the routine and you fall asleep sooner, without the need for tossing, turning, or waking up in the middle of the night.

 

 

Meditate like a yogi

 

If you feel worried or anxious due to stress, meditation is the remedy. Even if you spend a few minutes meditating, you will be able to calm your mind and reclaim inner peace. If you continue to meditate longer, you will feel a deep sense of relaxation and in turn gain a tranquil mind. While meditating, you can focus your attention and remove confusing thoughts from your mind. This will give you a sense of calm and peace and take you far away from thoughts crowding in your mind that causes stress. So, meditate regularly to improve your emotional well-being, your overall health and live a stress-free life.

 

Pursue a hobby

 

Don’t feel like a school kid when someone is asking you to pursue a hobby. When you pick up a new hobby, it relieves you from stress. A hobby gives you a sense of preparing your mind for a new task, more on the fun side. Especially when your job is stressful, a hobby distracts and dilutes your stress. You will feel happy to get back to your newfound hobby after a hard day. You can choose exercising as your hobby, which will enable you to relieve stress and feel productive. This hobby will improve you both physically and mentally. After a workout, you will also be able to have a good sleep. Other hobbies, such as crafting, gardening, playing crossword puzzles can also stimulate your mind and relieve you of stress.

 

Zone out and feel glad

 

It is okay to lose focus and stop paying attention to your routine tasks. Just laze around, it is okay to zone out from time to time. Zoning out can happen frequently when you are completely stressed. For some, even when zoning out the brain continues to linger on in the background. Don’t be hard on yourself when zoning out, tell yourself that you gave space to your mind to wander and that will boost your creativity, reduce stress levels, and solve mind problems effectively. You can afford to zone out as many times as you may want while working out, playing, reading, or drawing. It only rejuvenates your mind to think clearly after a short pause or break. However, don’t zone out while driving and lose your life.
