Recently we read the reports of suicide due to job pressure. Such suicides take place because they can’t meet the targets set by the management and also they can’t find peace of mind and happiness in their job. We can’t deny the fact that the number of suicides out of job pressure is more than the number of suicides due to joblessness. How can we overcome the job pressure? Is there a solution for it?
Love your job-it is one of the means to lessen the job pressure. If you do a job without loving it you can’t find happiness in it. Instead of completing the job as a matter of duty some employees are focused only in appeasing the management and thereby getting a promotion and other benefits. Do your duty with hundred percent commitment and do not try to please the management unnecessarily. Love should be more for your job than for your management. Higher officials may change from time to time. But your job is the same. If you do your duty well and nobody can replace your position then the management will definitely honour and recognize you.
A good working environment is a must to do the job well. Establish healthy relationships with co workers. Give due respect to the deserving ones. Avoid nepotism and groupism. Behave politely with everyone in the work place. Do not misuse the relationships in the work place for personal gains. Ensure that you have bosom friends among the colleagues.
Some people are workaholics. More than the job they won’t have any other thought. Some others are perfectionists. They can’t ever find satisfaction in their job. Since they think that their job has not been done well they look upon the work of others similarly. These two approaches will increase the job pressure.
Give importance to your happiness too. Spend time for entertainment. Make short trips occasionally. Weekly Off and tour programs lasting for several days are there for certain employees.
Giving relaxation from the job is the purpose of such things. Even if you don’t have such tour programs find some time for trips or other modes of entertainment once in a week. The weekly off itself is meant to take rest.
Do regular exercise. It is beneficial not only for your body but also for the health of your mind. It will help to lessen your job pressure.
Check yourself whether you do your job with difficulty or love. Is the job which I am doing now suitable to my aptitude and abilities? Sometimes people get chained to some jobs. When somebody doesn’t get the desired job he will be forced to do any job. He can’t find happiness in it and it may lead to the job pressure. Either you do your dream job or love your job whatever it may be. It is the easiest way to avoid the job pressure.
We spend most of our day time at the workplace. If you can’t find happiness there it is a personal failure. If you find the job pressure unbearable even after adopting several methods it is better to quit that job and find a new one.
