Getting angry and frustrated is only natural. And, work can get so stressful at times that it only takes a little push before you are ready to blow up. But, getting angry at work is self-destructive and nothing good comes out of it. We bring you some ways to keep the ugly head of anger at bay on the job
In control
Do not ever let arguments get out of hand. Remember, no matter how laidback your office environment is, it's still a professional place and you have to treat it like that. Always maintain a level of professionalism at work. Never resort to name calling or worse - throwing punches!
Walk it out
The best stress- and anger-buster is a brisk walk. Take a few deep breaths and get some fresh air into your system. If you step away from the situation that is making you angry, it will help calm you down and put things in perspective. You also have a few uninterrupted moments to think the problem through.
Take a break
Just stop working for a while and clear your mind. Avoid the person who is making you angry for that time. A short break will refresh you and when you get back to work you'll be calmer and ready to deal with the co-worker who had your blood boiling a few minutes ago.
Stress ball
There's nothing as therapeutic as taking your anger out on a smiley-faced yellow ball. The stress ball will help you direct your anger onto something specific. It's the best alternative when you want to punch an annoying colleague! You could stick your boss's picture on the ball for maximum anger relief. Just don't let him see it though!
Music mantra
When you are angry, play some music that calms you down. Put on the iPod and listen to songs that will help ease your nerves. It also blocks the noise from the office when you aren't able to get out.
Anger is something we all have come face to face with. It could get ugly, especially at the workplace. But, if you follow these tips, you'll have a more peaceful work environment.
When your favourite jeans don't fit you anymore or you don't look as sexy as you used to in your little black dress, it's time to face up to the facts - you've put on weight!
But you don't understand how, since you exercise and try to eat healthy, or are even on a diet.
So why are you still piling on the pounds? Here are some points to think about:
Stress
This can play havoc with your metabolism. A slower metabolism means fewer calories are burnt. Stress is also the reason people tend to overeat.
A classic example is eating chocolates in the hope that you will feel better. "Don't burden your stomach with fatty foods. Fruits are a better option," says Dr Snehashish Gupta, a nutritionist.
Always sleepy
Sleep deprivation affects all the systems in your body. "It makes you tired and lethargic, because of which you need energy. This makes you start snacking on unhealthy foods which in turn stores fat in your cells," says Dr Gupta.
Starving? Not wise
Starving will affect your digestion and metabolic rate. When you starve yourself your body starts storing fat for later use.
"Moreover, when you starve your body, you tend to overeat after some time to fulfill your body's requirements. This is called binge eating," says Dr Gupta.
Unmask those calories
Certain foods that claim to be diet foods may in fact have a lot of hidden calories and preservatives which may be responsible for your weight gain.
"People blindly eat these unhealthy foods just because they are marketed well but ultimately they end up piling on these hidden calories," says Dr Tanya Menon, a nutritionist.
Couch potato
Ensure that you do not lack any kind of physical activity. Doing so will not allow you to burning the calories you consume. This is especially true if you have a desk job where you sit in one spot all day.
To maintain a good body, it's important that you exercise, eat healthy and get enough rest. If you are not able to burn the extra calories in spite of following all these methods, it's time to consult a nutritionist.
