Write down your fears
Are you afraid to forget to hand over the report on time? Or are you afraid of your boss's reaction to your job performance? Keep a written list of all your fears and think about possible solutions that enable you to avoid them. Often, organizing your thoughts will help you realize that those fears are less than you thought, and it will enable you to regain control and work under pressure more calmly.
Get support
Seek some encouragement from a close friend, family member or anyone you trust. Your loved ones help you feel more confident and remind you of your ability to give your best.
Do not overthink
It is possible that you will not achieve the desired results of an order even after preparing it well, but do not allow yourself to think too much about conceivable possibilities. Clear your mind, trust yourself, and stay away from distractions.
Also, remember that sometimes it is OK to fail because acknowledging the possibility of failure relieves stress, makes you more relaxed and thus increases your likelihood of success. And even if you fail, you can add experience to your list of experiences and increase your ability to work under pressure.
Enjoy your time
Adjusting your perspective on things can help you relieve stress. if you view working under stress as a challenge and an opportunity to develop your skills rather than a problem, it will boost your confidence and remind you that you are in control.
Stay out of trouble.
If your workplace is full of problems and conflicts between colleagues, make sure to stay away from it because you only get more pressure and burdens. Also, avoid anything that may disturb the atmosphere in the workplace, such as lying, alibi, gossip, etc.
Set your priorities
Prioritizing helps you manage your time optimally which enables you to work under pressure more effectively.
If you have a lot of tasks to accomplish, try prioritizing them. You will realize that some of these functions are not important or can be carry-over for a later time or give it to someone else which will ease the burden on you.
Practice healthy habits
Be sure to have a balanced diet and drink enough water. Exercise regularly and get enough sleep. It's also a good idea to try meditation for ten minutes a day as meditation helps calm you down and keep your mind alert and clear.
Focus on the positive aspects
Maybe the job that you work in is not your dream job or you have reasons why you do not like your job. However, remember that you have a job while many people are unemployed at the moment. Try to focus on the good aspects of your job. Maybe it is the way you walk in the morning or talk to your colleagues or even the moment you finish work and go home to relax.
Do not ignore the work or take it for granted. It is essential that you face the situation and benefit from it in building your expertise and developing your career.
