Stress, Productivity, Creativity and Longevity - Personal Growth And Business Success

Share this ARTICLE with your colleagues on LinkedIn .



A bit of healthy stress, from time to time and in small doses is a motivator, a sensitizer, an energizer and a propellent for accomplishment in your personal, professional and entrepreneurial goals. Excessive unresolved, relentless (unproductive) stress can shorten your lifespan, and make you thoroughly miserable in all of your endeavors -- this latter kind of stress is totally unhealthy, and it must be addressed as soon as you feel that you are experiencing it too often, or to too great a degree.

Excessive unproductive stress destroys the mind, the body and the spirit. This is not merely anecdotal...this is proven. Please read on:
---------------
It is imperative, both in terms of your personal survival and for the success of your business, that you take whatever steps may be necessary in order to control and channel your stress. This is indeed an increasingly prevalent and serious issue, and must be given attention.

Stress can be either productive (in limited doses, it initiates creativity, sharpens problem-solving skills, and accelerates entrepreneurial achievement), or destructive (unceasing, relentless hypervigilance of the "fight or flight" response which leads to serious cardiac, emotional and even psychiatric issues).

Stress which is constant, and which cannot be quelled, calmed or cognitively resolved creates tremendous levels of anxiety, depression, aggression and even schizophrenia. An article from the Associated Press (AP) follows for your reading. When you have finished scanning the article, please come right back here, and we'll discuss some of the ways in which you can reduce destructive, nonproductive stress.

This Health Alert! is brought to you through Links 4 Life, in conjunction with Douglas E Castle and TNNWC, the ultimate management consulting company for emerging enterprises and our newest Member Of The TNNWC Group Of Companies -- TNNWC India, to whom we issue a hearty welcome.

And now, to the article:

Some Stress-Reduction Techniques:

1) Taking frequent breaks from the continuous flow of work; enjoy some uninterrupted quiet, a "power nap," some positive visualization or meditation, or simply putting on the headphones and enjoying some music [I will not insert a gratuitous plug for RadioDAZZ here], or even getting involved in solving a non-work-related puzzle or exercise (See Braintenance);

2) Get some cardiovascular exercise in at least once a day for at least 30 minutes at the minimum;

3) Take frequent "breathing breaks," where you slowly, consciously, take in deep breaths, and exhale fully;

4) Pick up your phone and call a friend or family member and speak about something irrelevent to your business at least once daily;

5) Hydrate your body (with water), avoid the urge to take refuge in gluttonous gobs of sugary or salty foods -- don't eat rapidly, or "on the run";

6) Take frequent breaks from you desk to stretch your body and walk around a bit;

7) Do not multitask -- learn to engage in "Rotational Tasking."

8) Be certain to get adequate sleep. For the average adult, this means a minimum of five hours to nine hours.

9) If you are wrestling with serious psychological or psychiatric issues, week appropriate medical attention or counselling -- these things do not "go away" by themselves...in fact, if unchecked, they can grow much more serious with time. Sometimes cognitive therapy is helpful, and sometimes medication (in the smallest effective dose) may be required.

10) Vary your routine from day-to-day. See if you can arrange a flexible work time schedule or the possibility of telecommuting on several days of the work week.

Most importantly, do not accept constant unproductive stress as a way of life; it is unhealthy, and has taken many a fine mind out of our social and business gene pool.

Faithfully,
