Work is often the
number one source of stress in a person’s life.
We all know that stress is bad for our physical and psychological
health, but most people don’t know how to deal with their stress properly.
A couple years ago I
began a new job, and had to deal with a stressful environment that I’d never
experienced before. Finding stress
tips at work was incredibly helpful for me, and I found myself not only
performing better at work, but being in a better mood and having more energy.
One of the most helpful
tips for relieving stress at work
that I discovered was to go for a walk.
If it’s nice out, walk around the building, or even just walk around the
halls of your office. Anything that will
help you clear your mind for a few minutes.

Other helpful tips for relieving stress at work
include getting enough sleep, limiting your caffeine intake, and eating right!
It’s amazing how much better you’ll feel simply by replacing that lunchtime
burger and fries with something like a chicken salad.
