How to Manage Stress at Work

De: Megan Bruneau

Narrado por: Megan Bruneau

Managing stress comes down to understanding - and solving - what therapist Megan Bruneau calls the stress equation. According to Bruneau, stress is the result of thinking that your perceived responsibilities are greater than your perceived capacity to take them on.

In this workshop, Bruneau tells us how to change those perceptions to manage stress, whether it originates at the office or elsewhere. From understanding that you can’t do everything yourself to taking time to boost your mood, Bruneau identifies concrete ways to help you de-stress and more confidently handle life’s messiness.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn to Say No: You don’t have to do everything on your own—and some things you just can’t do
• Enjoy Imperfection: Doing things perfectly isn’t expected or possible, so give yourself room to be imperfect
• Prioritize Self-Care: Your physical well-being plays a big part in how successful you are in managing stress
