Do you come home from work tired and stressed? You may be feeling pressure that you’re not even aware of. Below I’ve outlined several problems I’ve observed myself and my colleagues encounter in a typical work day – then I’ve given you suggestions on how to deal with them.

Problem:

  • Low energy, can’t concentrate. Keep trying to focus on one thing only to find a few minutes later you’ve lost your train of thought. Usually after lunch.

Solution:

  • Start your day be deciding what you want to accomplish and hammer each task out in order of importance. Take short breaks to keep yourself in the zone. If you want energy that lasts throughout your workday, get enough sleep and eat nutrient-rich foods in small amounts. Take a Green-Liquid-Multi-Vitamin as part of your late morning routine. If you need a boost, try a natural product like 5-hour-energy or have a FRS energy drink, just remember to only consume one – or you’ll experience hi’s and low’s throughout the day which is ultimately not good.

Problem:

  • Dragging your ass into work hungry and tired. Takes you 45 minutes just to get into a consistent groove.

Solution:

  • Get started early and develop a morning routine. I recommend jogging or stretching. First thing in the morning is a great time to deal with bills and personal tasks. You start your day on the right foot when you’ve already done something productive for yourself before your day begins. If you hate coming into work, then your only priority in life should be to find a new job.

Problem:

  • Constantly interrupted with work-related issues. Can’t make headway on one particular task because you’re being pulled in different directions.

Solution:

  • Keep your desk uncluttered. Turn off phones, email notification, instant messaging, anything that will break into your focus and make you jump from one thing to another. Don’t constantly switch between tasks. Focus on one task at a time and really lose yourself in it – then move on to the next.

  • Bored. Not feeling passionate about the project you’re currently working on. Client feedback has you stressed and overwhelmed.

Solution:

  • Take breaks to go for a walk or mini-meditate. It breaks up the day, calms the mind and gets the blood circulating. Putting out occasional fires is part of your job, how you handle it says a lot about you. Make a conscious effort not to allow yourself to be irritated. The process is always changing, what’s important is how your react to it. Acknowledge what’s happened and make calm decisions about next steps. Whatever you do, don’t allow other peoples stress to affect you.
