Breaking the Cycle of Stress: How to Identify the Root Cause and Take Control of Your Mental Wellness in a Diverse Workplace

By Carlene “Cai” Randolph

Stress is a common issue that affects people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. It can come from various sources, whether work-related, personal, or a combination of both. Identifying the root cause of your stress is the first step in managing it.

One way to identify where your stress is coming from is to take some time to reflect on what might be causing you to feel stressed. Are there specific situations or people that trigger your stress? Are there specific tasks or responsibilities that you find overwhelming? Once you better understand what’s causing your stress, you can devise a plan to address it.

Another critical aspect of managing stress is recognizing that it’s not always possible to eliminate it completely. Instead, it’s about learning how to work it healthily and productively. This might include setting boundaries, practicing self-care, and seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist.

It’s also important to note that corporations often miss the importance of mental wellness in diverse organizations. This can lead to a lack of resources and support for employees struggling with stress and other mental health issues. This significant problem needs to be addressed to create a healthy and productive workforce.

To save yourself from stress, taking responsibility for your own mental well-being is essential. This might include setting aside time for self-care, such as exercise, meditation, reading, or seeking support from friends, family, or a therapist. Additionally, it’s essential to have a support system in place to help you navigate any challenges you may face.

Stress is a common issue affecting people of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Identifying the root cause of your stress is the first step in managing it, and it’s essential to recognize that it’s not always possible to eliminate it completely.
