Stress, it has become so common in almost everyone’s lives whether it be a student a parent or a working person. Every role we play in our life is bringing us a lot of stress. But on top of everything is our work. We stress so much about work. We stress about the deadlines, the number of projects we have got, the presentation we have to make, will we be able to get the deal or not.
I think we take a lot more stress related to our work because one of the most important things that it provides that is needed to live our life somewhat easily, money. We stress about completing our assigned work because we want to keep our performance maintained to get an increment at the end of the year which will eventually help us to live our life better than the next year or maybe ease out some work that is pending in our life and we are eagerly waiting for it to be done.
But do you think it is the best way to deal with it. I mean stressing all the year for that little increment and then repeating the same process every year? Is that why you work hard every year to stress? Of course the answer is no. So, let us now look at the ways how we can deal with all these stress and make our lives better without worrying extra and find the beauty in our lives.

FOCUS

Do not think about how much work you have while currently working. This is very important. I do not know if you already know about this or not but try not to think about how much you are left with and focus on the work you are currently working on. Think logically, what good will it bring if you keep thinking about the future and stressing. It will just be a damage and nothing else.
Firstly it will not help you be effective to the work you are on, it will be affected severely. Secondly, it will destroy your mental health and thirdly you will not be able to complete the current task resulting in more time being taken and you stressing over the future work more.
If all this is making sense to you, you know what I am trying to make you understand. Do not affect and make your mental health even worse and focus on one work at a time.
To increase the focus, there are many methods that you can follow. If you have heard about the Pomodoro method you might know one of the good methods. You have to set a 25 minutes timer and work till then and the take a small 5 minutes break. After completing 5 Pomodoros you can take a longer break of 15 minutes.
