Understand that job-related stress is a psychological and physiological response to work demands that exceed an individual's coping resources.
Recognize that increasing caffeine intake or working longer hours may temporarily mask stress but do not address the underlying causes and can worsen stress over time.
Acknowledge that ignoring stress is ineffective because stress tends to accumulate and can lead to negative health outcomes if not managed properly.
Learn that effective stress management involves proactive strategies such as engaging in regular physical activity, which helps reduce stress hormones and improve mood.
Incorporate relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness to activate the body's relaxation response and reduce the impact of stress.
