Occasional pressure is part of any job, but how you deal with it is what matters most. Here are 10 stress-busting tips : - Have a cup of water. Water is the essence of life and staying hydrated will help in calming nerves.
- Read a chapter in a book. Or if you’re not much of a novel page-flipper, turn to a favorite magazine. Reading different material other than work, helps to introduce new thoughts.
- Draw a stick figure. Think back to how much fun you had as a child drawing to your heart’s content. Acting childish through sketches boost creativity.
- Close your eyes. It’s far easier to clear one’s mind when the visual sense is shut off.
- Listen to a song. Queue your favorite Tom Jones track and drift off momentarily to a land of the imaginary.
- Eat a piece of fruit. Our bodies need simple sugars to function well. Fruit has these and so much more. The power of naturally-occurring vitamins is uber beneficial.
- Write a note to a friend. On break, take 5 minutes to take out a pen paper. Don’t turn to e-mail; make sure this will get licked, stamped, and mailed.
- Go for a walk. Exercise increases blood flow and iron levels; both of which boost energy.
- Visit a new corner of your floor. Monotony is a leading cause of frustration. Touring the neighboring department will open your eyes to something new.
- Look through a window. A different view (with natural light) will relax the mind.
Now obviously, just one or a combination of these may not completely rid your system of stress. But, you can be sure that they will always lessen the amount of immediate pressure you might be feeling during the day.
