STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress can lead to illness, particularly when it persists over a long period and becomes chronic. This is something that should be avoided at all costs. To prevent reaching this point, it is important to take proactive steps to manage and reduce stress effectively [34]!

  1. Analyse stress:

  2. Who or what is causing the stress?

  3. Where does the stress come from?
  4. Is it short-term or long-term stress?

Short-term stress is triggered by e.g:

  • Crises
  • strokes of fate
  • force majeure
  • hopelessness

Long-term stress is triggered by e.g:

  • conflicts
  • workload

  • excessive demands

  • Measures Can you do something about the stress or do you need to become more stress-resistant yourself? A stress management and stress resistance plan can be drawn up and implemented with a great deal of self-discipline.

  • Time heals all wounds! If stressors only occur temporarily or are beyond your control, you can arm yourself against them and deal with them accordingly.

A certain degree of resilience is just as important for a project manager as dealing with stressful situations. In addition to the ability to adapt to new situations and circumstances, this psychological resistance should often not be neglected and helps to overcome difficult situations without any lasting impairment.
