Stress at work is one of the leading causes of people being off sick. The majority of people experience stress at some point during their working life.
Employees are interrupted 7 times an hour and distracted up to 2.1 hours a day. We cannot control everything in our environment, but there are ways to manage.
Taking care of ourselves doesn’t’ require a total lifestyle change or overhaul. There are a few things we can do to create more calm and peace in our day.
- Take a few deep breathes
- Act rather than react
- Eliminate unnecessary interruptions
- Prioritize your priorities
- Plan regular breaks
- Get up and move around
