As people, issues in our lives can occur at any point and cause us stress. Here’s why managing stress is important while driving for Uber.
When you are stressed, you won’t be your usual self, whether you’re aware of it or not. You may not even feel like you’re stressed out but if you’re in a situation that is affecting you, even if you’re not currently dealing with it, it can affect your performance and your personality.
For example, if you’re a student and have an exam in the near future, it might be on your mind the entire day. You might stop thinking about it to do other things but in the back of your mind, you know that you’ll end up having to study and take the exam soon. The stress of it can distract you and cause you to lose focus on what you’re currently doing because your mind might wander towards thinking about the exam at any time.
Stress can affect people in different ways. It can affect you in a simple way like the above example where it will only be a distraction. It can also affect you in a more serious way such as making you more irritable.
No matter how it affects you, though, it will affect your performance while you’re driving for Uber. If you’re driving and get distracted by your thoughts, you might end up spacing out and missing a stop sign, or at the worst, getting into an accident. If the stress is affecting your personality, you might end up taking your feelings out on a passenger. Both situations have a negative effect on the passenger’s experience.
Because stress can be such a big deal, it’s important to take steps to either get rid of the source of the stress, or at the very least minimize the effect of it. Using the above example of the exam, you can’t get rid of the source until you take the exam, but you can minimize the stress by studying and feeling more confident about taking the exam. If you just had a fight with someone, you can try to make up with them or just wait until the negative feelings pass.
If it’s bad enough that you can’t get rid of the stress, it is always a good idea to take a break from driving so that you can focus on your own problems and not risk adding to them if anything happened while you were driving for Uber.
