Dealing With Stress, Issue 10, Volume 7

Issue 10, Volume 7, 2014
INTRODUCTION
In aiming to prevent the development of mental health problems among employees, organisations should develop a comprehensive mental health
and wellbeing strategy. This strategy should be integrated with the broader health and wellbeing policy, and should address work-related risks to
employee mental health, using a systematic approach to planning, implementation and monitoring.
The organisation should have a specific policy on workplace prevention of mental health problems. It should take an organisation-wide approach,
with the full commitment and involvement of all levels of management, people with mental health expertise and employee representatives. To
ensure sustainability, the mental health and wellbeing strategy should be integrated within the organisation’s broader strategic management
processes and should not be seen as an ‘added project’.

Sewaktu Bekerja
BERADA dalam posisi duduk yang terlalu lama boleh menyebabkan
tubuh berasa lenguh. Namun ketika keadaan tidak memungkinkan
untuk melakukan sedikit regangan yang berat, tidak ada salahnya
jika regangan ini dilakukan sambil duduk di meja kerja.
Membongkok sebelum duduk
Angkat kaki kanan dan letakkan di atas paha kiri, sehingga tubuh
bawah membentuk angka 4. Buang nafas sambil bersandar, dan
luruskan punggung. Tahan nafas sebanyak tiga kali, kemudian ganti
bahagian kaki yang lain. Hal ini boleh dilakukan sebanyak tiga kali
selama tempoh anda bekerja ataupun melakukan aktiviti di depan
komputer.
Duduk berjam-jam boleh menyebabkan penambahan berat
badan. Sebuah studi menyatakan bahawa rata-rata individu yang
obes duduk sekitar 2.5 jam per hari dibandingkan dengan orang
kurus. Duduk terlalu lama juga boleh menyebabkan kita diserang
penyakit seperti jantung, diabetes dan kanser usus.
Untuk menghindarinya, lakukan gerakan membongkok sebelum
duduk. Berdirilah sekitar 2.5 cm di depan kerusi anda, kemudian
pegang perut. Membongkok seperti posisi sewaktu anda akan
duduk, namun hanya menyentuh bahagian belakang kerusi,
kemudian berdirilah kembali.
“Melakukan perkara ini selama satu minit setiap harinya akan
membakar sekitar 50 kalori selama satu minggu bekerja,” kata Shirley
Archer, pelatih olahraga peribadi dan penulis buku Exercises for the
Working Week.
Regangkan
komputer
pinggang
sambil
menggunakan
Ketika sedang berada di meja kerja, sering kali kita melipat kaki dan
membuat saraf tendon di pinggul menjadi lebih pendek. Hal ini
membuat pinggang menjadi kaku dan terasa nyilu di bahagian
punggung. Untuk menghindari hal ini, cuba lakukan sedikit
regangan.
Sewaktu duduk, bengkokkan lutut dan letakkan kaki di lantai.

Issue 10, Volume 7, 2014
Regangan jari kaki
Ketika bekerja, sering kali kita menggunakan kasut tumit
sepatu tinggi. Sudah bukan lagi satu rahsia lagi, high heels
boleh menyebabkan masalah lutut dan cedera pergelangan
kaki. Untuk itu, cuba lakukan beberapa langkah untuk
meregangkan otot kaki setelah menggunakan kasut tumit
tinggi.
Dalam posisi duduk, angkatkan kaki anda hingga lutut
menjadi lurus. Bayangkan ibu jari kaki anda adalah sebuah
pensel, lalu gunakan ibu jari kaki untuk melakukan gerakan
yang membentuk berbagai macam huruf. Lakukan hal yang
sama pada kaki lainnya sebanyak 3-5 kali setiap hari.
Ambil posisi seperti mencapai langit
Sering kali anda merasakan sakit di antara tulang belikat
setelah membongkok beberapa lama di atas papan kekunci.
Dalam posisi ini, tubuh anda sebenarnya sedang mencuba
mengatakan posisi tersebut buruk untuk tubuh, hanya anda
saja mengabaikannya. Cubalah untuk mengangkat keduadua lengan ke atas, dan lengkungkan punggung anda ke
depan. Kemudian tarik lengan ke bawah dan regangkan ke
depan. Lakukan gerakan ini setiap 20 minit.

Commuting to work can be a tiring affair
Suggests ways to stay cool
STUCK in traffic? Trying to breathe in a jam-packed LRT on the way
to work and wondering how many people are sharing that same
dreadful experience with you at that moment?
According to the Road Transport Department, about 5.2 million
motor vehicles were registered in Kuala Lumpur in 2013.
The Land Public Transport Commission reported January that the
number of users commuting on KTM commuter, LRT, monorail and
ERL during the morning peak hours in 2013 was 271,100 (a 40
percent increase for the same period in 2012).
Recent studies show that “a time-consuming commute can
have detrimental effects on mental and physical health”,
consequently affecting one‟s general well-being.
Here are some tips to make the commuting journey more
pleasant:
Health Info
Dealing with stress
Set the mood
1
A recent study showed that
listening to classical music “makes
for a safer and more Relaxing trip”.
However, another study by the
London Metropolitan University
claimed that “listening to classical
music caused more erratic driving
than hip-hop heavy metal”. Well,
forget the studies, just plug into your
favorite tune.
Activities
2
9
Instead of zoning out, read, play
Sudoku or any activity that can get the
brain into “work mode”. focus your mind
to think of ideas for new projects.
If you‟re stuck in a jam, read a funny
or inspirational book to lighten up your
mood instead of having obsessive
thoughts about how the traffic is making
you crazy or late for work.
Light snacks
Find your zen
3
Try to sit or stand at the spot
where you can find your own
„serenity‟ (i.e the best view, the best
place where you can lean on to or the
spot where the air-condition blows
directly on you). Use breathing
techniques that keep you focused so
that you can start your day on a calm
note.
4
Bring along a bottle of water to keep yourself
hydrated, and some mints in case you feel lightheaded. If you‟re driving, pack some healthy
snacks like nuts, granola bars, apples and
bananas that can ward off hunger which can
cause foul temper and lead to road rage.
Good posture
5
Some experts say that one can develop good
posture while commuting. Katherine Simmons of
health website Greatist, suggests you “sit at the
edge of the seat, keep feet flat on the floor, draw
the navel up and in, and lift up through the crown
of the head. Hold this anatomically-friendly
position for 20 seconds, then relax and repeat.
Apply the same practice when you‟re standing.
Stay square through the shoulders, lift from the
head, keep the spine straight and avoid leaning on
one hip.”
Issue 10, Volume 7, 2014
6
Wear comfortable clothes. Take off your work
jacket. Change from heels or work shoes to sneakers,
slippers or sandals so that you can move about with
ease.
Aromatherapy
8
The smells of body odour is inevitable if you take
public transport. Try some on-the-go aromatherapy by
having a roll-on bottle containing essential oil handy.
Research says that lavender, lemon, orange and basil
keep stinky, dizzying smells at bay. It also contains
linalool, a chemical compound that has a calming effect.
Dab the scent behind your ears and on your wrists.
Patience
Walk
7
Health Info
Comfortable clothes
10
Be patient and use common sense when
Time to stretch your legs. Use the staircase
instead of the escalator or elevator. Park your
car further from the station and start walking.
Snooze
9
Take a nap. However, make
sharing space in a public transport or the road
with other users.
As the golden rule says: Do unto others as
you would have them do to you. Stressing
yourself out over daily commuting woes will do
you more harm than good.
sure you have secured your
belongings (like handbags) before
nodding off.
