7) Wellness Strategies
To deal with stress and manage it to one's benefit, one can crack a joke with a co-worker, watch a funny movie, enjoy an evening with some friends, read the comics, and try to see the humor in any situation. Laughing is one of the easiest and best ways to reduce stress.
Learning to relax helps, by doing exercises, taking several deep breaths throughout the day, taking regular breaks to get outside or just to stretch and change the scenery. Chair exercises or simple stretching are easy to do anywhere and only take a few seconds.
At the beginning of each day, take charge of the situation by taking a few minutes to prioritize and organize the day ahead. And one's attitude towards others at work should be positive, honest, but constructively so, by making practical suggestions in a tactful way. One must be realistic about what one can change, but look to change things for the better with a positive attitude that will be noticed (Canadian5).
