Getting into a peaceful state of mind need not be the expensive, seminar-induced way to go when you really, really need to deal with stress ASAP. This especially holds true when you’re at work or in any other situation where you can’t just walk off and take a vacation somewhere far. Sometimes, a little mental adjustment is all you need to get through the day without feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally run through the clothes wringer.

First off, start the day by pacing yourself slowly. Whereas you used to rely on the alarm clock to signal your military-like preparations for the day, why not get up ten minutes earlier so you won’t have to rush around like a headless chicken? Same goes with driving: there’s no need to beat every red light or be all Schumacher-like on the fast lane. Leave the house earlier than usual, take in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood, and get to work on time with some more minutes to spare. And when you’re conversing with people, don’t say the first thing that comes to your noggin. Pause for a few seconds, think the questions over, and then give your well-digested answers. That way, you’ll be creating an overall calm aura that can be contagious to other people rushing about and insisting on being all hectic.

Also, to avoid tension from coagulating the duration of the day, try this simple formula. For the span of an hour, work for 55 minutes and take a break for 5 minutes. Not only will you feel rejuvenated, but this can actually increase productivity in the work place. You don’t have to go anywhere for such breaks all the time. You can simply ease your mind into screensaver mode and think about nothing. In this case, having a poster of something calm or visually pleasing would help wonders in your cubicle. Or perhaps a bowl with a goldfish or a lovely flowering plant can help. Just don’t overdo it, or the flora and fauna in your workstation might prove more stress-inducing in terms of upkeep.

Also, make sure you put your vacation leaves to good use. A two-week break has been proven in researches about office goers to be more mentally soothing and calming to the spirit, in comparison to those using up their office leaves whenever they feel too stressed. Before you know it, you’ve used up all your breaks, and the stress still keeps piling up.

In case this does happen, don’t blame yourself or try to heap your plate with more responsibilities. Seek help from family, friends, and colleagues, and you’ll be surprised at how much easier it gets when they’ve extended their helping hands. Just make sure you ask nicely and not be an ogre, or else you’ll be passing on the stress to everyone else.
