When work fails to please, becoming joyless and highly consuming workers are often victims of severe stress. It is a fact that excessive stress caused by work can negatively affect ones mental and physical well being, therefore identifying healthy ways of dealing with rampant work stress is extremely important.

Being physically active



Allow your body to rejuvenate and release the frustration through a daily dose of exercise. From biking to yoga, any form of activity will enable you to reap the stress reducing benefits immediately. Get your active mode on and beat the stress out of you!

Balance time



Time is money as we say. Efficiently managing your time and planning out your tasks will help to lower stress levels drastically as this allows you to be in complete control of your work and meet required deadlines, hence giving you a sense of satisfaction.

Develop the ability to meet challenges with humor



Laughter is known to be the best cure that can bring down your stress level instantly. Proven to be the best natural medicine for stress, a hearty laugh will lower stress-aggravating hormones including cortisol and replace them with dopamine, a feel-good hormone.

Flip your negative attitude



Looking at the downside of every situation will get you no results but simply painfully high levels of stress. Think positively about your work and challenges or difficult situations you’re thrown into in order to keep your stress at its minimum.

Connect with co workers



Social interaction amongst employees cultivates a friendly and flourishing work environment. Allow yourself the privilege to connect with fellow workers, who you can relate to you and with whom you feel at ease. Form a support system with one another and let your fellow employees buffer you way from work stress.
