Rather, it\u2019s your body\u2019s way of registering an external influence and pushing your brain to respond to it. If your skin didn\u2019t feel pain when you touched a hot stove, your brain wouldn\u2019t respond by pulling your hand away. Likewise, if you didn\u2019t feel stressed when you were confronted by a threatening situation, your brain wouldn\u2019t \u201ckick into high gear\u201d and focus on the problem to find a quick solution.<\/p>\n So stress in itself is a very positive tool for our bodies to have\u2014it\u2019s what pushes your brain and body to perform at higher levels than they are normally capable of when you\u2019re in a dangerous spot. If you\u2019ve ever been involved in an auto accident or similar emergency, you may have looked back on the event later on and been surprised that you were able to do what you did to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. In large part, you probably have stress to thank for that burst of strength.<\/p>\n Too Much of a Good Thing<\/strong><\/p>\n When we talk about stress today, though, we are most often talking about situations that are not life-and-death in nature. In the office, for instance, you may say that you feel stress all day long due to impending deadlines, difficult customers, contrary co-workers, misunderstanding managers, malfunctioning technology, and any number of other minor and major complications to your work. While stress is highly beneficial to your body in short bursts, it is not intended to be a near-constant state of being! If you always feel that you are being confronted by difficulty and your body is constantly pushing you to perform at higher-than-normal levels, there will inevitably be physical and mental consequences, as your body and brain simply get worn out.<\/p>\n Common Stressors<\/strong><\/p>\n So back to our original question: If we have access to so many great technologies and tools to make our jobs easier, why don\u2019t we feel less stress than our predecessors, rather than more? A big part of the problem is that the very existence of those powerful tools creates the expectation, for better or worse, that we should be able to do far more than our less technologically equipped ancestors. After all, while your grandfather had to use a desk-bound rotary phone to make sales calls, you now have a compact smartphone with access to the Internet! Surely you must be able to triple your sales in comparison.<\/p>\n Another important stressor is the \u201clearning curve\u201d involved with figuring out how to use these often-complex tools in the first place, and with later learning the more advanced nuances of them for greater efficiency. That new project management software that the company just bought promises to make your life easier, but first it will make it a lot harder as you try to quickly train your brain to think and work in different ways.<\/p>\n Contact Now<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Are There Answers?<\/strong><\/p>\n As with any problem, there are certainly solutions to the issue of excessive stress in the modern workplace. Some are more in-depth than others, but understanding even the small \u201cquick fixes\u201d can help you make it through the day, week, month, and year without suffering physical consequences like headaches, a weakened immune system, and just feeling tired every time you\u2019re not functioning with a stress-induced burst of energy.<\/p>\n Perhaps the greatest weapon you have against the negative effects of stress is awareness. When you understand that your stress is your body\u2019s response to what it perceives as a dangerous situation, you can improve your mental state by reminding yourself that your work environment isn\u2019t really a life-or-death situation that demands those high energy bursts. Taking some time to calm yourself down, remember what the stakes of that sales call or team meeting really are, and put things in perspective can really help you lower your stress level and make it through the rest of the day without developing a headache!<\/p>\n How Stress Balls Help<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s a good reason that you see cheap stress balls<\/a> displayed on tables everywhere at a trade show or professional conference.
