– Anis Qizilbash

So often an unhealthy work-life balance can lead to heightened stress and this can negativity effect how we conduct ourselves, both at home and at work. Anis’ mission is to help client’s reduce those stresses so they can have a more productive, positive outlook – having gained the tools to solve problems and overcome them with as little stress as possible.

3 WAYS TO REDUCE STRESS IN 5-MINUTES.

– written by Anis Qizilbash

Don’t Take Stress Lightly – it has profound impacts on wellbeing and your bottom line.

Humans spend approximately 6-8 hours a day ruminating on past events, worrying about the future, and worrying about what could go wrong. This excessive thinking activates brain regions associated with greater levels of stress, indicating that it is our own thoughts that play an important role in how we respond to stress.

The impact of this kind of stress on mental health can be severe if left unchecked. Oxytocin, a chemical which plays an important role in regulating communication within relationships, is lowered when we are feeling stressed, leading to more negative communication and increased conflict.

These serve as an important reminder that the way we think and feel can have profound impacts on our overall wellbeing and should not be taken lightly. As is so often the case with human behaviour, our natural instinct is to wait until we are in danger before taking action. In light of this, I’ll share a three negative consequences stress can have on your business’ bottom line in the short-term.  

1. When you’re stressed you find it difficult to manage emotions, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, short-tempered and frustrated. Not particularly useful when you’re renewing a client’s business.

2. Stress causes difficulty communicating thoughts and feelings effectively, avoidance of difficult conversations, or you don’t speak up when needed. How will you challenge assumptions, deliver delightful service, overturn objections when you avoid those difficult conversations?

3. When you’re stressed, you’re in survival mode which reduces your ability to understand other people’s  perspectives and feelings. How will you solve problems if you don’t understand them?

Here are three ways to reduce stress-induced cortisol in less than five minutes so you’re ready for that crucial meeting or call:

1. Taking slow, deep breaths can help lower your cortisol levels. But you must pay attention to your breathing whilst doing it.

2. Taking a cold shower or splashing cold water on your face can reduce cortisol quickly as it activates the calm nervous system.

3. Get off the tube/ bus two stops early and walk or take the stairs instead of the escalator.

Which one will you try next time you feel stressed?
