Is your job leaving you feeling overwhelmed? You’re not alone. According to the American Institute of Stress, 40% of workers say their job is very or extremely stressful, and 25% consider it their top source of stress. This constant pressure can make it hard to concentrate, impacting your performance and creating a cycle of increasing stress.

 

Fortunately, there are effective strategies to help you manage stress, relax, and improve your overall well-being:

 

  • Eat a nutritious diet.
  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Get enough sleep.
  • Exercise (you may even be able to do a few calming yoga poses in your office).
  • Use positive affirmations.
  • Practice deep breathing.
  • Spend time on self-care (this could involve going out to dinner with friends, visiting the spa, or even just taking a short walk outside).
  • Take periodic breaks during the workday.
