Stay active: Exercise is a great way to relieve stress. Your body releases endorphins during exercise, which can help you feel calm. If you exercise 30 - 60 minutes a day, your stress levels can improve. When stressed, take 5 slow, deep breaths with your eyes closed, then roll your shoulders forward 5 times, then back 5 times. This will slow your heart rate and release tension in your neck and shoulders.

Work stress: Take care of yourself. Be sure to take your lunch break. It might be good to leave the building, even go for a walk. Consult eith others as needed, but don't be part of gossip and politics at work. Consider a nap or meditation during scheduled breaks. Also, try to organize and plan your day so it feels less chaotic. Delegate when you can, and don't micro-manage everything.
