What would you say when you are under work pressure, “stressed out and frantic(狂亂的)” or “ 61 (challenge) and energized”? There is very little physiological difference between the two, says a growing contingent of experts 62 claim work stress has an upside. These experts believe that stress can strengthen you or tear you 63 . In most cases, you can choose.
Give stress a good name. Why resent work stress — it's an indicator that your career is advancing. Think of a heavy work loadas an 64 (excite) opportunity to push yourself, learn new skills and show your mettle. 65 (complain) depletes your energy; instead, greet an overloaded day with optimism. Tell yourself, “This is a challenge I am capable of handling.”
66 (put) it in perspective, sometimes it's impossible to talk about the positive side of stress — say your computer crashes and you lose valuable work— 67 you can moderate(節(jié)制,減輕) your reaction. Rate your distress on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being mild irritation and 10 extreme panic or anger. Now, rank the importance of the situation from 1 (a notice) to 10 (you're fired). 68 your distress ranks 69 (high) than the seriousness of the situation, ask yourself: Is this something I will remember in four years, four months, four days? Then downshift your response 70 (according), saving your emotional energy for disasters.
