Simple ways to beat office stress

Take a break

Naitik tells us that working nonstop may actually hurt your productivity. He suggests taking regularly scheduled breaks. "A small break of 10 minutes every 2-3 hour should be included in the daily work schedule. Also, you should avoid eating lunch at your desk; this will help you stay away from your office work for some time," he says

Have a balanced diet

The fitness freak Viraat shares, "Our food contributes to the physical stress. It is important that you eat nutritious and healthy food. While working, you should have small timely meals; this will keep you energetic throughout the day. It will give you the required energy to fight against physical stress."

Get organized

Arnav Singh Raizada believes that planning work is extremely important. He says, "Doing things in a disorganized way disturbs your work and creates stress. Moreover, you start feeling nervous about pending and forthcoming work." He suggests making a time table and getting organized.

Set Realistic Goals

Ahem tells us to set realistic goals. He adds, "If you want to achieve your goals, one of the important things is to be practical. Avoid aiming for things that are beyond your limits. Also, you should not underestimate yourself. You should understand your needs and stay focused on them."

Entertain Yourself:

A lawyer by profession, Viren says "I believe in the age-old quote, 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'. If you continue doing routine work without taking a proper break, it affects your mind and body. You should take out time from your daily work schedule and indulge in some extra-curricular activities that you enjoy. Realize your passions and you will feel some difference in your life."
