How can I help other balance stress at work and stress at home?

If you are struggling with stress in both areas, then you need to find time to relax at some point, listen to some relaxation tapes and just take some time to clear your mind. Do it before you go to bed. Remember, work life stays at work within the shift, after that there is nothing more you can or should be doing, so once your shift ends, switch off work. Home life is for at home, so once you finish at work, then it is time to deal with anything going on at home. Don't overload with all stresses at the same time. And make sure you find some time to yourself, where you don't have to consider either or. Sometimes having time away from everything, instead of thinking about it all the time, can help you to think clearer about how to go about the issues you are faced with.

by listen to them, help them to identify the source of stress, and search for available options to reduce it.

Nobody can avoid stress.Talk with people who you trust. Keep busy with many thing or you need looking for counselor.

Leave work at work and home at home. First, make sure to never mix the two. It just makes a complete mess and calls for unnecessary stress. At work, make goals in a list form for that day, that week, that month. It depends on your work. At home, you are supposed to be relaxed, make lists for dinner, chores, have everyone help out, make time for family/relaxation time.

Leave work and work, and keep your home life out of your work life. When you leave work, make sure you really leave work.

Life can be stressful most of the times that is why it is good for you to keep the balance by making sure that your working time and personal time does not clash and that you have your personal time anytime you can get it.

I don't believe in compartmentalization, even if so many people insist on it. I think when we bring our most genuine selves into everything we do, we will always bring our thoughts and feelings from other parts of our lives. Stress included. So no balancing act there. But the way I learned to manage my stress (and I'm still learning here) is by preparing myself to physically, mentally and emotionally handle the ride. I find it important to be at a state where disappointments and failures don't make as much of a dent on me as it otherwise would have. Then offload many times in the day to keep that stress at the lowest level.
