10 Relaxation Tips for Professionals
Does your career often leave you feeling overwhelmed? If so, you are not alone. According to the American Institute of Stress, 40% of employees reported that their job was very or extremely stressful, and 25% viewed their job as the No. 1 stressor in their life. And because stress can make it difficult for you to focus, it can affect job productivity, potentially leading to even more stress.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to manage your stress, relax, and enjoy a better quality of life:
- Eat a well balanced diet.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Get enough sleep.
- Exercise.
- Meditate.
- Use positive affirmations.
- Practice deep breathing.
- Spend time on self-care (this could involve going out to dinner with friends, visiting the spa, or even just taking a short walk outside).
- Take periodic breaks during the workday.
- Find a healthy work-life balance.
