It is no secret that there are many sources of stress at work. Employers or employees, executives or labourers, freelancers or permanent staff, everyone has their own set of worries: budget cuts, restructuring, fierce competition, but also presentations to manage, strict deadlines to meet, complex files to deal with, etc. There are hundreds of sources of anxiety that can harm your productivity. So what if coping mechanisms could help you to deal with them?
We owe the conception of coping mechanisms to the American psychologist Richard S. Lazarus (1922-2002). ‘Coping’ refers to the mechanisms and strategies we use to deal with stressful situations and control – or at least reduce – the effects they have on us.
According to this theory, we are not powerless in the face of the stressful events we are regularly faced with, but rather we react to deal with them and thus try to regain control of the situation by responding to them in our own way. Think about the deep breaths you take before speaking in public, the habit you have of playing down a situation by repeating to yourself constantly that it will only take a minute when you have to relate some bad news to your boss, or the packets of sweets or cigarettes that are empty within five minutes when a stressful deadline is approaching. These are just some of the most common coping strategies.
But have you perhaps wondered if your coping mechanisms are really efficient? Are you sure you manage stressful situations that arise in the best way possible? Do you take advantage of them to improve your productivity rather than letting them slow you down? Research carried out on coping can help you to see it more clearly and change your perception of stress by giving yourself the tools to deal with it effectively, or even to make it a precious ally.
