Eustress is a positive form of stress that arises from challenges and opportunities for growth, while distress is negative stress caused by overwhelming pressure and lack of control.
Strategies for managing distress at work include setting clear boundaries between work and personal life, prioritising tasks, seeking support from colleagues or professionals, practising self-care activities, and promoting a positive work culture.
Organisations can promote employee well-being by fostering a supportive work environment, providing resources for stress management and mental health support, offering flexible work arrangements, and encouraging open communication about stress and workload.
If you feel overwhelmed at work, it's important to take a step back and assess your priorities. Consider delegating tasks, seeking help from colleagues or supervisors, and taking breaks to recharge. If stress persists, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional for support.
