For many of us, work is a major part of our lives. It is where we spend much of our time, where we get our income, and often where we make our friends. Having a fulfilling job can be good for your mental health and general wellbeing.

We all have times when life gets on top of us – sometimes that’s work-related, like deadlines or travel. Sometimes it’s something else – our health, our relationships, or our circumstances. The value-added to the economy by people who are at work and have or have had mental health problems is as high as £225 billion per year, which represents 12.1% of the UK’s total GDP.  

It’s vital that we protect that value by addressing mental health at work for those with existing issues, for those at risk, and for the workforce as a whole. A toxic work environment can be corrosive to our mental health.

Take some time out to meditate

To a mind that is still the whole world surrenders. How true is that! In the hustle and bustle of life, we seldom are able to spare some time to think about our self. Our mind wanders in a reckless manner on things that don’t even matter. Meditation, however, helps your mind to ward off the things that deviate from your work.

Calmness in your attitude can help you avoid responses like anger, frustration, and more. And, that can help you devote complete focus on the tasks at hand rather than squandering it off on unnecessary things. You can begin by devoting just ten minutes of your morning time to practice meditation.

Have an attitude of gratitude

I’m a strong supporter of this practice. If you are grateful for what you have, you are more powerful than anyone else in the world. People nagging and complaining about their problems forget about the pleasures they have!

As they say “satisfaction is not always the fulfillment of what you want; it is the realization of how blessed you are for what you have.” Be thankful for what you have. Don’t just get frustrated because someone else in your team got promoted. Analyze your weakness. And, the areas where that person scored better than you to get the promotion. Work even harder and success will kiss your feet!

Don’t Speak in a Loud Voice

If you catch yourself shouting or speaking in a loud voice, immediately lower it.

Talk in a medium pitch voice, not too loud or too low, and don’t let the loudness or pitch of other people’s voices influence yours.

Greet the People You Meet at Work

Saying good morning with a smile, greeting someone for his or her good work, and congratulating your colleagues and boss on their birthday, contribute to better relationships and less stress at work.

Be polite

Always be polite to people. Being rude or inconsiderate will result in similar behavior, which can aggravate the situation.

Even if people are rude and impolite to you, stay polite. This is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, you show them that they cannot affect your state of mind and your feelings. You might even be surprised to see that they change their behavior and feel bad for being impolite.

Visualize a Place Where You Would Love to Be

Several times during your workday find a quiet place. It may be at your desk, or if it is not quite enough there, it can be at the bathroom, an empty room, or some other quiet spot.

For several moments, visualize a beautiful location that you love, or some event that made you happy. Feel as if you are there now, and enjoy the feelings that arise within you.

Make the mental image and feel as real as you can and enjoy them for a few moments. It is like going on a short vacation. You will feel better and calmer afterward. 

We have always emphasized the importance of having a good website for your company because it can act as your best tool for marketing and sales. A poorly designed website can repulse people from your business and can cause you to lose customers before you even have them.
