Eat well, sleep well:

You must have heard this a hundred times from your mother, but it is important. Get enough sleep whatever your body requires, six or seven or eight hours of sleep each night. Eat well, avoid oily fried foods, focus on fruits, dry fruits and nutritious and wholesome foods.

Exercise:

The best stress release is exercise, don’t miss your gym, yoga class, walk to whatever you do. If you don’t exercise, start immediately

 

Act not React:

Don’t react to a situation, instead think to calm and respond. Not every email needs to be read and replied immediately.

Meditate:

Learn to meditation, there are quick meditations you can do sitting in your seat for 2 – 5 minutes

Identify self-imposed stress:

Others creating stress for you is inevitable, but you creating stress for yourself in unnecessary. Manage your personal activities so you don’t create a rush and panic for yourself. Choose your wardrobe for work the night before. Polish you shoes at night, refuel your car tank the night before, do whatever it takes to reduce the stress you create for yourself.

Learn to cool down quickly:

Don’t allow one email, one phone call, one interaction with a stress creating situation ruin your entire day. Learn to cool down immediately.

Get some support:

When you feel that the stress is impacting your life, seek help immediately. Most good companies have an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) where they pay/subsidize visits to a psychologist/counselor.
