A desk photo of loved ones can help you keep priorities straight. Strive to preserve positive relationships with family members, friends and co-workers. Put a limit on workday hours, get away from the desk at lunch and break times and don't forget vacations. Everyone needs and deserves time to restore their energy. Exercise, eat healthy, stay hydrated and get enough sleep.
Physical activity reduces mental stress.
Sleep deprivation, hunger and dehydration drain you physically, increase irritability and impair concentration, which makes you more susceptible to negative stress. Don't be afraid to talk to your supervisor. He or she is in the best position to understand your workload, offer guidance and help you set priorities. Also, ask for feedback. You might find that you have been holding yourself to unnecessarily high and unattainable standards.
