It may not be obvious to everyone but the key to stress relief is switching to doing something which is not stressful. Here are some stressless things which you can do at home or on the job.

RELIEVE STRESS AT HOME OR AWAY FROM HOME–

Associate with non-work friends

Relax with your favorite music

Use your hands and not computer for an interesting hobby

Get a massage

Take a walk preferably outdoors

Pray, meditate, or think about something other than work

Read or watch something which makes you laugh

Stop arguing over politics, sports, religion, or beliefs which you can’t change

Have some sex

Breathe deeply

Take a shower or bath

Exercise

RELIEVE STRESS ON THE JOB–

Celebrate small successes with food and/or drink

Stop thinking about past mistakes or failures as being overly important because they will probably be unimportant a month or year from now

Do many similar small tasks all at once

Divide a large task into smaller steps

Be more selective in your information intake so you don’t drown in it

Don’t procrastinate at a task because you will be stressed when you start running out of time

Don’t work evenings and weekends except in emergencies

Find a less stressful job
