A desk photo of loved ones can help keep your 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 energy. Exercise, eat healthy, drink water, and get enough sleep.
Physical activity reduces mental stress.
Sleep deprivation, hunger, and dehydration drain people physically, increase irritability, and impair concentration, which makes anyone 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 set priorities. Also, ask for feedback. You might find that you have been holding yourself to unnecessarily high and unattainable standards.
