I took the life stress inventory test. My score was less than 150, meaning a relatively low amount of life change and a low susceptibility to stress-induced health breakdown. What I also realized taking this test is that it had major life incidents that can happen in the potential future of mine, which made my score low. However if I were to go through high levels of stress there are ways I can manage it and hopefully my job can help with also. One personal one is establishing a morning routine. Begin my day with activities that promote calmness and preparedness, such as planning, a nutritious breakfast, and a stress-free commute. This can also relate to physical needs like taking regular breaks and include physical activities, such as walking during lunch, to combat the sedentary nature of many jobs. This can set a positive tone for the day and reduce workplace reactivity. Another way is to try and stay organized. Plan my workday and keep your workspace tidy. Effective organization can reduce the last-minute rush and minimize the stress caused by clutter and disorganization. As for the workforce I can make I can look into the benefits and job expectations they provide. I can regularly discuss your responsibilities and performance expectations with my supervisor. Clear communication can prevent the stress associated with role ambiguity and help me focus on my tasks more effectively. Lastly is to avoid workplace conflicts. I can do that by maintaining professional relationships by avoiding gossip and managing conflicts with appropriate resolution skills. A harmonious work environment can significantly reduce stress. Of course everything is easier said then done but hopefully I will gain enough life experience that I can be conflict to handle these situations.
