Cope With Work Stress In Just 5 Minutes

Stressful situations are sometimes inevitable. Each of us perceives challenges in their own way and reaction to them also varies. How stressful our life is depends not only on us. Other people influence it as well, and this is something we cannot change. Or can we?

Stressful situations are sometimes inevitable. Each of us perceives challenges in their own way and reaction to them also varies. How stressful our life is depends not only on us. Other people influence it as well, and this is something we cannot change. Or can we?

What if we do not try to change others (which is a fairly hopeless task), but rather try and change our attitude to stress and tension that we often experience at work?

1. Stretching
Stretching releases muscle tension that accumulates in your back, shoulders, and neck during the day.

2. Do a short workout
Even when your day is extremely busy, do your best and set aside at least 5-10 minutes to do some exercise. There are plenty of exercises you can practice that do not require any special equipment: yoga, oxycise, bodyflex or simple squats – you can pick any kind of workout to your liking. Physical activity will boost your energy level and help you calm down. Working out is beneficial for both your body and mind.
