If you have a stressful job, you might find that your mental health is taking quite a beating every now and then. The good news is that there are things that you can do to maintain your mental health even when you have a stressful job so that you don’t find yourself so close to burnout all of the time. Now, you might think this isn’t possible, but we can assure you it is. In this article, we’ll be talking about some of the ways you can succeed in doing this, so keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Ensure You Have A Job You Like
First, it helps if you ensure you have a job you like. If you’re constantly trying to manage your mental health but you’re stuck in a job that you hate, then this is going to make things harder. Stress can be handled, but the fact that you hate your job on top of this is going to make everything worse, and it’s going to make it more difficult to come out of the other side.
So, the first thing you should do is move into a job that you like. Even if you’re out there locking down mortgage protection leads, as long as you like it, you’re going to have a much better chance of maintaining your mental health in the long term. This will reduce the amount of stress that you feel already, as you will be happier in what you are doing!
Learn Some Calming Techniques
Another thing that we recommend is that you learn some calming techniques. You want to look into things like breathing exercises so that you can step away from the situation when things start to become overwhelming. When this happens, it helps if you remind yourself of the things that make you happy, think about them, and bring some calm into your life. Stress can only be combated by calm, anything else is going to make it worse.
It might even be worth speaking to someone about how you are feeling as they may have some more suggestions on what you can do.
Don’t Stress Yourself Out Too Much
Last but not least, we know that it’s hard, but try not to stress yourself out too much. There’s a difference between working hard and spreading yourself too thin. Our recommendation is to find someone that you can look up to in your industry like Paul Ognibene in real estate development and look into their path to success. If you can plan out a course of action on how to get to where you want to be, you may find yourself becoming less stressed and more focused.
We hope that you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you can do to maintain your mental health when you have a stressful job. You can keep a hold on your mental health without having to give up your job, helping you to live the best life possible! We wish you the very best of luck with this and hope that you see success in trying out these things.

My career working in the mental health field became more stressful over the years due to added layers and layers of paper/computer work. I’ve learned that being super responsible isn’t always healthy when demands are unreasonable. The Serenity Prayer, and prayer in general helped along with those breathing exercises. It’s surprising how shallow our breath can be when we’re stressed and how much taking a few slow deep breaths can help. I need to remember this, even though I’m retired.

I had the same issue, spending many years to reach a highly paid sales person my life was very stressful in and out of the office. I drank to deal with the stress and mask the fact I wasn’t happy. I was making over $300k when I left and after the shock of losing the big paycheck, I felt so much better.

That happens, it happened to me as well. I’m thankful that David made enough money that I was able to stop working instead of continuing to struggle through job after job. If you ever want to make money, you so many photos to sell. :)
