• Not everything is in our hands in our work
  environment we cannot control everything, having
  said that, it doesnt mean that you are entirely
  powerless even when stuck in a difficult
  situation. Discovering means to manage workplace
  stress is not about making big changes or
  reconsidering career ambition. There is just one
  sole thing that is always within your control and
  that is yourself, you must rather focus on
  yourself.

The troubled economy has been an emotional roller
coaster for workers everywhere, says Westhill
Consulting Career and Employment, Australia.
"Layoffs" and "budget cuts" are the two
catchphrases that increased fear, uncertainty and
higher levels of stress. It is vital to
understand and learn new and better ways of
dealing with the pressure since job and workplace
stress increase in times of economic crisis.

• Stress has an impact on the quality of your
  interactions with others and since your emotions
  are contagious, better you are at managing your
  own stress, the more you'll positively affect
  those around you, and the less other people's
  stress will negatively affect you.

You can learn how to manage job stress.
According Westhill Consulting Career and
Employment, there are a variety of steps you can
take to reduce both your overall stress levels
and the stress you find on the job and in the
workplace, which includes, taking
responsibility for improving your physical and
emotional well-being, avoiding pitfalls by
identifying knee jerk habits and negative
attitudes that add to the stress you experience
at work and earning better communication
skills to ease and improve your relationships
with management and coworkers.

• Identify warning signs of excessive stress at
  work. Are you working overseas, in SE Asian
  cities like KL Malaysia, Jakarta Indonesia or
  Bangkok Thailand, is the culture shock causing
  you stress? When you feel stunned at work, you
  drop confidence and may become ill-tempered or
  introverted. This can make you less productive
  and less effective in your job, and make the work
  look less rewarding. If you overlook the warning
  signs of work stress, they can lead to greater
  hitches. Chronic or intense stress can also lead
  to physical and emotional health problems aside
  from interfering with job performance and
  satisfaction.
