3. Drink a cup of herbal tea
Herbs work miracles. Some of them, such as chamomile and peppermint, are a powerful tool helping to fight stress and anxiety. NASA scientists have recently carried out research into the effect of herbs and found out that peppermint scent decreases tiredness by 20% and reduces frustration by 25%. Make a smarter choice and, while at work, drink herbal tea instead of coffee.

4. Take a stroll
Once you find yourself in a different surrounding, you will feel much better. It’s great if your office is located in an environmentally clean place, for example, near a city park. You can then refresh yourself and relax a bit before you dive back into your working routine. If your office is situated in a busy city center, then you can spend your lunch break in a sidewalk cafe. Order your favorite drink and distract yourself by watching people go by.

5. Have a chat
Call someone who you know can understand and support you when you feel stressed. Avoid those who you think can increase anxiety and stress. A study shows that communication with close people, such as your friends or parents, produces oxytocin in your body – the hormone that is needed to successfully fight tension and stress.
