Use these 8 effective ways to de-stress yourself at your workplace. Stress is one of the biggest problems we face in the office and these tips would help you to tackle it with much effect.

1. Top 8 Ways to Avoid Stress
at Your Workplace

2. 1. Kick-Start Your Day
Studies show that if you reach office relaxed in the morning then you will
feel less stress throughout the day. Therefore, leave your home 30
minutes early than usual so that you feel less rushed to reach your
workplace.

3. 2. Manage Your Email
We all get plenty of crappie emails everyday. To keep away from stress, cut
down the amount of time you spend reading and sending emails. Don’t waste
you time in acknowledging an email receipt, instead put responses in the
subject line so that you don’t have to compose a new message.
If you’ve gone through an email three times and you’re still confused, then pick
up the phone.

4. 3. Stretch Your Body
A sedentary job can actually land you with a lot of mental as well as physical stress. So, it’s
important that you do some stretching while sitting on your desk. Lift your legs up and stretch for
30 seconds, this will reduce the risk of blood clots. You can even try putting your arm behind your
neck and hold on to the elbow with another. Do this for sometime and switch sides and repeat.

5. 4. Get Something to Munch
Start your day in the office with your favourite brew and bring some non-
perishable snacks on hand. You can get some healthy munch like dried
fruits, nuts, protein bars, juice boxes and much more.
If you don’t munch anything for a few hours, it can drop your blood sugar
levels and you will end up having stress. Therefore, bring something from
home to munch in between your work.

6. 5. Find Out What’s Stressing You Out
Come office early or find a secluded conference room and just think what’s stressing you out
at the workplace. Write down on a sheet of paper and divide your worries:
• My worries
• Why they bother me
• Worst thing that could happen
Once you find out your problems and confront them, then you will feel more relieved and
stress-free.

7. 6. Give Credit to Yourself
How many times have you praised yourself for doing things well? Don’t remember, isn’t
it? Next time when you complete some project or achieve some goal, just tell yourself
that you’ve done a really good job. This would help you gain more confidence that in
turn will help you keep your cool amidst the workplace madness.

8. 7. Plan Everything Early
If you’re facing challenges at work, then start making to-do lists for the
every week. Sit down on Friday evening or take some time out on
weekends to make a list that you need to do next week. This list will help
you avoid forgetting anything and stay focused on your job.

9. 8. Start Socialising
Meet your co-workers at least once a week just to discuss any work
related issue. Start collaborating together and find how you can do
things better, improve relationships and productivity.
