Not only that, it can slow down the work, impact productivity, and affect the quality of the work. It is important to address these issues and take corrective measures to stay ahead of these problems so that you can stay productive and happy at work.

Here are some useful de-stressing tips and techniques that will keep your anxiety in check and help you calm your mind at work:

Go Out For A Short Walk & Stretch

Sitting for long hours working can affect your mind and body and slows you down. make sure that you go out after every 2 hours to take a short 10 min walk, take a deep breath, and stretch yourself. This will give your eyes and mind some break and you come back with new energy.

Hydrate Yourself

Keeping yourself hydrated helps your stress levels down. If your body is not sufficiently hydrated it causes more anxiety and strain on your eyes and brain. Keep a bottle near you and keep sipping it every 15 minutes.

Take A Training Break

Thinking about the same issues and working on the same project for a long time can make you feel monotonous and bored. It kills your enthusiasm and energy. Taking some time off to attend training that helps you develop your skills and is good for your career growth can help you build confidence and boost your work motivation. Softwares like Workramp provide an excellent training platform that will give you a break from everyday tasks and also encourage learning.

Share Your Problems With Your Work Friends

Talking to your friends is the best remedy for all kinds of problems and we are quite familiar with it. Going to the cafeteria with your office colleagues and talking about work or other issues can help you de-stress. 

Listen To Music

Listening to your favorite music by plugging in your headphones/earphones is an excellent stress buster. If you are doing some manual work that doesn't require much brain to be applied, you can listen to music and work simultaneously. Only if you are good at multitasking!

Keep Something Personal Around You

Sometimes work can get extremely exhausting and you don't have enough time to leave the desk even for a quick coffee break. Looking at the photo frame with the picture of your loved ones, or an indoor plant kept at your desk can help you feel less stressed out. They act as the quickest therapy.

Take A Power Nap

So many organizations allow you to officially take a power nap when you feel all soaked up or if you feel sleepy after lunch. In fact, companies like Google have nap pods, where employees can take a quick snooze and then come back to work recharged. Don't you wish your organization had one!

Put Yourself First

If you feel saturated with work and it's affecting your mental and physical health, call for a day off. Do make sure that you have the work all covered by your team so that it should not impact the work. You can go to work more energized and with a fresh mind after taking a day's break.
