Effective Stress Management - The Secret Ingredient to a Healthier Mind

What is happening in the Urban Workplace?

Urban life is a lot more fast-paced. Approaching deadlines and multi-tasking make stress management necessary for everyone. We all remember how fun things used to be back in school. How our teachers would make learning fun and encourage safe and healthy competition. Have you ever thought of the reason why we as adults miss our school time so much? Did you ever think about how it was a point in life where we did not desire mental peace because we had ample?

Even if we were unable to grasp a concept in school. It did not matter, the teachers created ways to make us understand and remember everything perfectly.

Well, we all grew up and school’s out! But, if we can remember our childhood and get nostalgic in adulthood. Then it can only mean that something from that time is now missing. Humans are very much focused on running in the race in an attempt to be better than everyone else. This can be seen in every organization, if not competitiveness, you can see a tensile need to succeed. Everyone is trying to one-up the other.

This is the perfect time to introduce a feed where employees can interact with peers. A feed to recreate the playfulness. The connections and fitness activities can uplift them to achieve more.

Growing sensitive toward the well-being of an employee does not have to be a serious subject. It can be a fun challenge where an individual is challenging their stress in an attempt to reduce it. Such activities are a proven way to effective stress management.

This can be achieved by:

Monitoring is key to stress reduction

Monitoring how you feel every day is important. Also, it is very important to know the cause. Knowing why you feel the way you do and then changing it. To monitor stress first, you need to identify your triggers. Noting the factors causing you stress.

Tracking your progress is also an essential thing to do. Activity and regular movement play a role in maintaining motivation. Assess your activities together and build that bond that is crucial to feel stress-free. Having this platform also means that you will not feel like you are in this alone. You will always feel like you are a part of a bigger cause.

Cultivating friendships at work

Being a virtual one, with team-based competition this is to ensure employees have a “Buddy” on this feed. This will help one to realize that they are not alone in this journey. Making stress reduction a fun process means the other person is not held accountable. It’s a process of overcoming workplace pressure through mutual understanding and mutual encouragement. You will eventually find your co-workers more interesting. This is possible because now you know them outside of work and on a more personal level.

Every employee has a need to stand out or be unique in what they have to offer to the organization. This need can be empowering, especially when you get the reward you were seeking. Virtual gamified challenges give you a chance to access those rewards.

After every task, you are awarded upon completion. You also get recognition among your peers who are also using the feed. Adopting such gamified platforms will let the employer have the ease to direct employees.

The psychology behind gamified stress reduction

Everything we do has a psychological take! Let me explain that to you. Have you ever played a sport in school and emerged victoriously?

Have you seen the amount of people clapping and cheering you on? Do you remember how full of energy you felt? That is the stimulating factor that most people end up missing in workplaces. If tasks in daily life came with small rewards. If they have a stimulating factor then it will bolster the stress reduction.

This reward system is only successful if you maintain an inventory of all the activities that you were supposed to do. This is possible through the TWChallenge app where we design and curate activities. At?TWChallenge?we aim to groom employees from the very beginning of their employment. At a stage where they shape themselves for the upcoming roles.

Employees can learn and grow as individuals if they are taught to learn in more practical ways. Something as versatile as mental stress which is mostly unseen needs to be acknowledged.

So here we are trying to make an attempt at injecting some fun and stimulus into your life! Applying the traditional gameplay to employees in the workplace because let’s face it. Work has become boring for the most part of it. Less stressed employees are far more productive and can pour their focus into the business models fully.
