Some people have sought other ways to relieve their stress. Matt Sloan, a former editor at the dot-com Silicon Planet once worked 48 hours straight. When he was under stress, he would mentally regroup and sometimes took time to write and play music. I have a band, so writing, practicing and playing music live were some of my releases to stress. If you love working in a dot-com environment, you need to remember to take the necessary time to eat nutritiously and find time for some type of physical activity.
Physical activity increases alpha waves that are associated with relaxation and meditation.
Eating the right foods to stay healthy and help you to manage your stress isn't as difficult as you might think. You don't need to be a gourmet chef or watch the food channel in your spare time. Overdoing the caffeine is not a good idea if you'd like to lower your stress level. Experiment and find out what your caffeine limits are. Avoid eating large meals that consist of foods laden with fats, such as hot dogs, cheeseburgers, French fries and chips.
