Too many of us spend our lives dealing with awkward situations and problems, both at home and at work. This leads to too much stress and can sometimes drive one literally over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before we deal with the stress we have to realize that we need a certain amount of stress in our lives in order to function properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the ‘trick’ is to find a balance between too much stress and too little. You have to realize that a certain amount of stress is good and that we use it to push ourselves and enhance our performance or productivity at exactly the right moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to have the right frame of mind when dealing with stress and try and keep away from people who are ‘over stressed’ it can be infectious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the world is going mad there are always those who keep their head. Mix with these people and find out how they are in control all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sometimes it is our own self-confidence, or lack of, that causes us anxiety and a good way to combat this is by practicing a few deep breathes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When first starting out on a sales career a good tip is just before you are due to meet a client, find a quiet corner and breathe in for a count of seven and then, slowly, breathe out for a count of eleven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
