Great site. I fully agree with the analysis about Stress and the reaction to perceived threats.

If you found ways to change your beliefs that you have a high stress job, perhaps you would react differently in different situations. It never ceases to amaze me that one person's stress is another person's peace. It's all perception, I believe. I once knew a woman who "hated", "hated", "hated" her boss. The person was rude, disgusting, overbearing, boarish, etc. I think you get the picture. Just coming within 10 feet of him would make her skin begin to crawl. So what was she to do? She needed the job because she was not financially independent. But the idea of working there was so loathsome that her stress level was way out of control. She made a decision that she had to change the situation. She used positive, private affirmations. Each time he came near her, instead of allowing nausea to take over, she would silently say, "I love you, I love working with you and I love working here" or other related affirmations. It worked. As a result, she changed how she reacted to him and then slowly he changed how he treated her and it even spread out a little through the office. Perhaps if you used this type of affirmation just before each customer interaction, you would experience a positive change. An excellent book by Ken Blanchard is "Whale Done." It could change how you process the world and as a result the world won't reject you anymore. Hi Barney,

I wonder if the job has to be stressful 90% of the time. If you found ways to change your beliefs that you have a high stress job, perhaps you would react differently in different situations. It never ceases to amaze me that one person’s stress is another person’s peace. It’s all perception, I believe.

I once knew a woman who “hated”, “hated”, “hated” her boss. The person was rude, disgusting, overbearing, boarish, etc. I think you get the picture. Just coming within 10 feet of him would make her skin begin to crawl. So what was she to do? She needed the job because she was not financially independent. But the idea of working there was so loathsome that her stress level was way out of control.

I'm okay with a very high stress job 90 pct of the time, but 10 pct. is 'killing me' (perhaps literally). Called into the HR person's office for second time this year, this time after being rude to a caller. I apologized - but it was too late. She complained, and had every right to. So I need to learn some skills, and this is a great site. Wondering whether, with things like this, the for-pay places like MindTools are worth it. Interested in anyone's experiences. Thanks.

I am much more able to cope with stress and that means emotional as well as physical. All of your tips are excellent and I really like this blog.

I find that people run into problems when they have unrealistic expections of how something is supposed to "be". By re-evaluating the situation, and checking if it really is important, worth getting worked up over, then I think most people find it easier to be a bit laid back about issues - rather than dominated by them.

I especially like how you noted that one should "just say no"! May not lower stress, but it definitely won't add to it :) Great tips. I especially like how you noted that one should “just say no”!
