Stress at Work | Biofeedback Resources International

Most of us spend at least 8 hours of our day at work.  If you ask many people, they will say they hate their job.  Even if you don’t hate your job there are usually many moments every day at work that you would describe as stressful.  It’s nice to visit a therapy office for a biofeedback, talk therapy, or relaxation session where you sit in a nice comfortable chair and listen to relaxing music.  For a moment your troubles can seem to disappear and you feel totally relaxed.  This is helpful.  It can break the chronic stress condition that many people are stuck in.  The problem can be that after the session you go back out into the real world and have to manage until the next visit that may be a week or two away.

While you are at work what can you do to break the stress response that is being turned on so frequently?

Doing 15-20-minute relaxation exercises may be easy to do at home but they may not be so easy to do at work.  You can take part of your lunch break to do a 15-20-minute relaxation exercise so it is possible.

I also make the argument that nonsmokers should get the same amount of time for breaks to do whatever they want including relaxation exercises.  They shouldn’t have to work more just because they don’t smoke.

An important and effective quick relaxation exercise you can do is to notice when you are typing at the computer if you are tensing your arms, neck, upper back and shoulders more than necessary.  When you are typing it is easy to start tensing muscles more than necessary especially when you are feeling stressed.  Sometimes when you are under pressure to get a project done quickly you tense up more while you are typing, which of course does not help you type any faster and can lead to symptoms like neck and upper back pain and headaches.  Doing a quick mental scan now and then can limit the amount of time that your muscles are tensed more than they need to be for the task you are working on read more...
