Identify habits and behaviours that add to stress

Image
It’s easy to identify sources of stress following a major life event such as changing jobs, moving home, or losing a loved one, but pinpointing the sources of everyday stress can be more complicated. It’s all too easy to overlook your own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to your stress levels. Sure, you may know that you’re constantly worried about work deadlines, but maybe it’s your procrastination, rather than the actual job demands, that is causing the stress.

CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS

Image
Dealing with customer complaints plays an important role in managing customers. Customer complaints are inevitable, no matter how streamlined your business. They must always be acknowledged and dealt with effectively. By ignoring or dismissing complaints, you are effectively telling the customer that you don’t value their opinions. Many business owners see complaint management as a time-consuming and frustrating process. However, by developing an efficient system, complaints can be resolved quickly and easily.  When you receive a complaint from a customer, care should be taken to value the emotions of the customer, as the nature of the complaint could be a repetition for you but for that specific customer it is probably for the first time.   Always listen to solve the problem positively, not just to reply . Be patient and listen to them first and try to understand their problem. Always pay full attention to the customer while she/he is explaining about his problem.   T...

ELIMINATE HALF WORK -AT ALL COSTS

Image
In our age of constant distraction, it’s stupidly easy to split our attention between what we should be doing and what society bombards us with. Usually we’re balancing the needs of messages, emails, and to–do lists at the same time that we are trying to get something accomplished. It’s rare that we are fully engaged in the task at hand. This division of your time and energy is called “half–work.” Here are some examples of half–work… ·          You start writing a report, but stop randomly to check your phone for no reason or to open up Facebook or Twitter. ·          You try out a new workout routine. Two days later, you read about another “new” fitness program and try a little bit of that. You make little progress in either program and so you start searching for something better. ·          Your mind wanders to your email inbox while you’re on the phone...

TIME MANAGEMENT

Image
Time management   is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of   time   spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. Time management can be tough.  What is urgent in your life and what is important to your life are often very different things . This is especially true with your health, where the important issues almost never seem urgent even though your life ultimately hangs in the balance. ·        No, going to the gym today isn’t urgent, but it is important for your long–term health. ·        No, you won’t die from stress today, but if you don’t get it figured out soon,  you might . ·       No, eating real, unprocessed foods isn’t required for you to stay alive right now, but will reduce your risk of cancer and disease. Is there anything we can do? If we all have 24 hours in a day...

STRESS AFFECTS LIFESTYLE

Image
WHAT IS STRESS? “A state of mental or emotional strain or tension resulting from adverse or very demanding circumstances”. “We generally use the word “stress” when we feel that everything seems to have become too much – we are overloaded and wonder whether we really can cope with the pressures placed upon us.” Anything that poses a challenge or a threat to our well-being is a stress. Some stresses get you going and they are good for you – without any stress at all many say our lives would be boring and would probably feel pointless. However, when stress chronically overwhelms both our mental and physical health, then we have a problem and need to find ways to manage it. STRESS MANAGEMENT Stress management refers to the wide spectrum of techniques aimed at controlling a person’s levels of stress, especially chronic stress, usually for the purpose of improving everyday functioning. You may feel there’s nothing you can do about stress. The bills won’t stop c...
