Stress Management in the WorkplaceStress – Hate it or Love it!

“Stress is a condition or feeling experienced when a person perceives that "demands exceed the personal and social resources the individual is able to mobilize." In short, it's what we feel when we think we've lost control of events.”
Richard S Lazarusone of the most influential psychologists
“Stress is not necessarily something bad – it all depends on how you take it. The stress of exhilarating, creative successful work is beneficial, while that of failure, humiliation or infection is detrimental."
Hans SelyeOne of the founding fathers of stress research

Stress Management in the WorkplaceThe Stress Scale
Source: www.mindtools.com
In 1967, psychiatrists Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe decided to study whether or not stress contributes to illness.
They surveyed more than 5,000 medical patients and asked them to say whether they had experience any of a series of 43 life events in the previous two years.
Each event, called a Life Change Unit (LCU), had a different "weight" for stress.
The more events the patient added up, the higher the score.
The higher the score, and the larger the weight of each event, the more likely the patient was to become ill.

Stress Management in the WorkplacePerfectionism
Source: www.biography.com www.mindtools.com
Excessive perfectionism can do more harm than good - it can be damaging to your self-esteem and to that of the people you work with. It can put a strain on your relationships, and, in some cases, it can lead to health issues.
She loves perfections..
Within a decade, Martha Stewart, Inc., had grown into a $1 million business serving a number of corporate and celebrity clients. Stewart expanded into the world of publishing with her first book, Entertaining, which became a bestseller and was followed in quick succession by such publications as Martha Stewart's Quick Cook Menus, Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres, Martha Stewart's Christmas, and Martha Stewart's Wedding Planner. Her newfound fame took its toll on her personal life, as her marriage to Andy Stewart ended in divorce in 1990, after a bitter three-year separation.

Maladaptive Perfectionism
Healthy quest for success
OR
Maladaptive perfectionists are never satisfied with what they achieve. If something isn't perfect, they dismiss it. They may experience fear of failure, doubt, unhappiness, and other painful emotions.
Adaptive perfectionists work on developing their skills.
Their standards are always rising, and they approach work with optimism, pleasure, and a
desire to improve.
This is clearly a healthy type of perfectionism

Stress Management in the WorkplaceCentering
Source: www.mindtools.com
Centering is a technique that
originated, and is still used, in Aikido –
one of the Japanese martial arts.
Aikido is nonviolent, and is perhaps
the most cerebral of all the self-
defense arts. It literally means 'the
way of unifying life energy.'
