People get stressed so easily no matter where they are. But how can you eliminate stress at the office, specifically?

The best weapon against stress is organization. But no matter how organized you are and how well you plan, unexpected things happen. What do you do when someone throws a monkey-wrench into your well-oiled machine? Remember the 3 A’s. Assess the changes and figure out what needs to be done. Adjust your schedule and expectations to come up with a new plan. Act quickly and decisively to implement your new plan.

That or you can once a day, find a quiet spot- even if you have to go sit in your car. Turn off your cellular phone, close your eyes. Breathe slowly and deeply. With each inhalation, focus on the stress you’ve dealt with that day. As you exhale, release it completely. Relax and let your mind be still. If you spend just a few minutes each day being relaxed and present, you’ll lower your stress level substantially. Negative energy is toxic. People try to get rid of it by dumping it on someone else. Don’t spend time with negative people in the office. Keep a positive outlook and focus on solutions, not problems.

Peace out.
