Depression can be defined as an external force that influences an individual. Yet, stress is a normal part of life that can help us to develop and grow as human beings. On the other hand, depression can take a heavy toll on us.
*Depression releases emotional chemicals and strong hormones that prepare us for action. The most common cause of stress is fighting or running away. If we do not take action, the stress response can lead to health problems. Long-term, uninterrupted, unpredictable, and uncontrollable stress are the most devastating forms of stress.
*Every day, we are confronted with trials and pressures. They meet us in every corner of our lives. We can cope with stress in the lowlands of life and in the mountains, where we experience true happiness. Good and bad both come with your stress patterns.
*Meeting groups can be very problematic. Everyone, no matter how experienced, will experience some stress when faced with a team situation.
*Remember that when you feel down, everyone in the group feels the same way. However, if you are called to lead that team, then the pressure on you will be too great. You will worry about how others see you, about whether you will be accepted or, not and you will be thinking about the task the team has to deal with. Never lose sight of the big picture, the reason for the group's presence.
*The team will work and do its job better if they feel comfortable with the team. Team dynamics can be influenced by the level of interaction of team members. If you are a leader, it is your job to make the team work.
*You will find the job much easier and less stressful if you prepare well. One way you can prepare yourself is to have a team of pressure-reliant sports clubs nearby, or at least have an idea of how these stress-relieving games work.
-You will find that these games will help break down the existing natural barriers as teams begin to build and develop.
Team Stress Helps Games # 1: If I Were ...
These stress-free games are great for getting people out of their shells and starting to communicate. Good communication helps the teamwork and without you, the team will never achieve its stated goals.
The group should stand or sit in a circle, this will create a sense of belonging. The leader starts by turning to the right person and 'asks' the question “if you work and breed, what animal?” That person would answer the question and turn to the person to his right and ask the same question, such as if you were a famous writer, who would you be? The game progresses and everyone has a chance to ask a question and give an answer. Just remember that no one is allowed to repeat a section.
This is a very simple game with no preparation, and that is the best kind of team pressure release game.
Team Stress Helps Games # 2: Who Do You Like?
In this game, everyone has a pencil and a piece of paper to write on in five sections. Categories can be about anything like “designers”, “actors” or any other category like fashion.
Now everyone just lists what they like in each section of the section.
Give everyone a piece of paper and a pencil. Then write five categories, such as “food” or “artists.” Everyone should write down their favorite things in each section. All papers must be returned to you (leader). As you read each list aloud, other group members try to guess whose list you are reading.
Team Stress Helps Games # 3: Liar, Liar
Here we have each person in the group commenting three or four times about him or her. Some comments should be true and some false, it is up to the whole team to decide which ones are true and which are false.
Group Stress Relief Games # 4: Gossip
This is great for teams that need to develop a deeper sense of connection but need at least 10 people to work harder. The maximum for this game is 20. So keep this information in mind if you plan to use it.
The idea is that the leader starts by whispering a long sentence to the person to his right. That person conveys a message to the person to his right and thus the message surrounds the group.
It's amazing how the message will flow as it is transmitted. This game will show how informal communication turns their real idea into something unprecedented. It will emphasize the need to write, down important notes as the need arises. We cannot always rely on word of mouth.
Group Stress Relief Games # 5: Code of Conduct
This game works well for a small group of familiar adults who like to talk/argue about problems and are not easily upset. The leader starts the game by turning to a random group member and introducing a behavioral problem. For example, “If you knew that someone was going to kill your worst enemy, would you try to warn him?” The person answers the question and explains his or her reason. Then the party votes whether they believe it or not that someone will do as they are told. If most participants think someone is lying, they are out of the game. If the majority think that you are telling the truth, that person is choosing another “victim” and creating another moral crisis. The last player left is the winner.
