When at work a great stress relief activity is essential to keep yourself from going mad!
While there area many tings you need to do at work to stay calm and not stressed such as taking regular breaks, managing your workload, prioritizing tasks and eating a healthy diet there is one other activity I think works wonders.
Laugh!
This is one of the best ways to reduce stress at work and it is contagious! You start laughing others will join and the whole atmosphere of stress can evaporate. A simple joke or a clever email to your colleagues can set of a chain reaction of feel good giggles that will alleviate stress and lead to better productivity too.
I once just started laughing in the office for no reason at all other than I knew if i didnt i would end up screaming instead!
The effect was amazing as everyone else wanted to be in on the joke … everyone else wanted to feel good and remove that stress for a moment.
Try it next time you are stressed at work. Make yourself laugh or make someone else laugh and revel in the humor!
Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it’s nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks.
