"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another"
Are you stressed at work? Do you think you cannot handle your tasks? Are you not able to
handle competition at work? What is work pressure?
Work pressure is the pressure which you experience at workplace or due to pressure related to
your work. The most common reason for work related pressure is burnout. Others are related to
time management, competition, job promotions, pay scale, family time, target achievement and
workplace conflicts. Some amount of pressure and stress related to work is acceptable for the
adrenaline rush it provides to fulfil tasks. However, pressure that builds up over time,
unrectified will have negative effects. The first of many such negative manifestations are on
your family, because that is where you vent out all the frustration. The most unnoticed effect is
on your personality, mood and performance.
If you think you are already at this stage, do not wait any longer to reach out to a professional
counsellor. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a popular short-term therapy for work
related stress.It focuses on the way your thoughts create your feelings and choices, and helps
you manage your thoughts and therefore your perspectives towards situations and ultimately
your reactions. Talk therapies like psychodynamic psychotherapy and person-centered
counselling can also prove helpful. Some therapists will include relaxation techniques in their
sessions. Mindfulness helps you focus on the present and can do wonders at helping you stay
grounded during stressful episodes and react less aggressively when challenged. Don’t get
