Not all stressors are worth our time and energy. If a stressor has nothing to do with my personal well-being and job performance, I laugh them off. By the way, laughter may not always be the best medicine, but it's good. Things I consider unnecessary stressors are: 1. Gossips Let's be realistic, they do exist as stressors. We can't make them go away, but we can ignore them. 2. Administration Policies First of all, admin policies are meant to be followed, not stress us out. Let's be honest, they are only stressful because they are not according to our wishes. For as long as they are ethical, legal, and reasonable, we should not have a problem following rules and regulations. If we can't follow them, then we might be better off somewhere else. There are other unnecessary stressors that we should not even be paying attention to. That's why we have to learn to qualify them before we even break a sweat. Regardless, we can only choose to do one of the two: TAKE CONTROL OF STRESS, or LET STRESS CONTROL US.
