Reduce your stress level at work

Your day is filled with intense meetings, crazy work hours and heated arguments, but who said your day has to be all about stress? Well, here are few tips that you could follow to distress yourself at workplace

Breathe

Slow and deepen your breath. While this might sound the most basic thing to you, it makes a huge impact. When we are stressed, we release adrenaline, which makes us more stressed and leads to panic conditions.

Breathing exercise helps to pacify the anxious mind of ours. The formula is simple, focus your mind on something that your body is doing and it gains composure.

Just sit on your chair and count every exhale till 10. Repeat it ten times and notice the difference.

Memory games

When you are tense, turn to Smartphone games, they are the best saviour. Playing these games bring your brain in a better state of thinking.

You can't be emotional while taking decisions, one need to be rational. Indulging in memory games like Tetris, Puzzle, and Word games make your brainless reactive to stress.

Question yourself

Questioning yourself often is the best way to deal with a stress situation. Ask yourself, "Will this issue/ problem matter a few years down the line?" Look at things from a greater context.

Because what you do should matter at the long run. Try doing this and what looks like the life-shattering moment for you, will look like a small issue that you can easily deal with.

Pen your thoughts

You are stressed, once you have gained some control on yourself, put your thought out in a journal. Doing so lets you separate your emotions and gives you a clear vision.

Try doing this and you will realise the gravity of the situation is a way to less than what you assumed when you were fuming.

Reboot your system

The best way to think about things with a clear mindset is to reboot your system. It is exactly like how you turn on and turn off your mobile phone.

You sit on your laptop the whole day and it takes a toll on your eyes. Sit straight on your chair, close your eyes and put the heels of your palms on your eyes gently pressing them.

This will alleviate the strain and restart your system instantly.

Arms above your head

The sub-title above might simply remind you of a punishment that one used to get in the school. Get up from your chair and stand with your feet apart at a hip distance.

Raise your arms above your head; it is one of the best exercises to reduce tension. Next, interlink your finger and turn your palms out and stretch it above your head.

Take a deep breath and lift your shoulder till they reach near your ears. Drop them down. Pull your body tight, so your spine is rising tall and your abs are tucked in.

Stay in this position for 3-4 breaths. Following this exercise lets, you inhale more oxygen.
