Workplace anxiety: First - learn to leave work at work. Relax & enjoy your off-hours time. Second - try to figure out specifically what is causing you to be anxious at work so that you can address it directly. Talk about feelings & address problems. Don't avoid them. Aim for 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep/ night. Daily physical activity is optimal in a green space. Eat healthfully. Cut out junk carbs, caffeine & alcohol
