Managing Workplace Anxiety: Understanding Triggers and Finding Relief

Workplace anxiety is more common than you might think, affecting roughly 60% of workers. While some level of stress is natural in professional settings, it shouldn’t overwhelm your ability to perform. Dr. Asim Shah, a psychiatry professor, offers insights into what triggers workplace anxiety, how to manage it, and when it’s time to seek professional help.
Key Takeaways
Common Triggers: Anxiety at work can be caused by interactions with co-workers, supervisors, or specific tasks and projects.
Symptoms: Signs include feeling overly anxious, physical symptoms like sweating or trembling, obsessive thoughts about tasks, and a loss of interest in work.
When to Seek Help: If symptoms last more than six months, it may be time to seek professional guidance, such as therapy or medication.
How to Manage Workplace Anxiety:
Break tasks into smaller steps to feel less overwhelmed.
Set small goals and celebrate each accomplishment.
Express your emotions through journaling or talking to someone.
Establish healthy habits and engage in activities you enjoy.
Set boundaries and work within your limits.
Why this matters: As a generation known for valuing mental health, millennials can benefit from understanding how to manage workplace anxiety. Learning to identify triggers and applying stress-management techniques can improve both personal well-being and job performance.
Rising Entrepreneurial Spirit in Canada: More Canadians Consider Starting Their Own Businesses
A growing number of Canadians are exploring entrepreneurship, with more than half considering starting their own business in 2024. According to a Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) survey, interest in entrepreneurship has risen after two years of decline, as Canadians explore new pathways to working for themselves.
Key Takeaways
Increased Interest in Entrepreneurship: 51% of Canadians are considering starting a business in 2024, marking a five-point increase from last year.
Gradual Transition Plans: 72% of aspiring entrepreneurs are finding ways to transition into full-time entrepreneurship, with many monetizing hobbies, taking on side gigs, or testing business ideas.
Motivations: 93% seek meaningful work, 87% are driven by the desire to earn more, and 46% are looking for greater work flexibility.
Challenges: Canada has seen a decline in the number of entrepreneurs over the past two decades due to factors like wages, an aging population, and the difficulties in sustaining small businesses.
Why this matters: As purpose-driven work and flexibility become key career goals, millennials may find entrepreneurship an attractive option for personal and financial growth. This trend highlights the growing appeal of owning a business in today's evolving economy, especially for those seeking autonomy and meaning in their professional lives.
