Are you beyond stressed? Work hours could be building up, the house is a mess, the holidays were crazy. How do you survive these times? It can seem impossible, but change can be right around the corner!
Here are my favorite tips to destress. Use every available resource to aid in a healthy lifestyle.
Use Company Perks
Reach out to your HR department and ask about existing ancillary benefits for employees. Often times companies have programs to help their employees with stress, alcoholism, drug addiction, and therapy. Sessions are often free and 100% confidential.
If you aren’t taking advantage of company discounts, and medical services you could be missing out on some really valuable freebies. You might not like your job but at least you can pocket a little bit more cash. For tons of more ways to take advantage of your job, click here.
Give Yourself Something to Look Forward To
I’m not condoning spending extra money but setting aside money for something fun is important.
Even if times aren’t rough it’s time to start putting away little pockets of money. You need your emergency fund.
Plan Your Own Way
If you’re at your absolute wits end read this post: What to Do Before You Freak Out and Quit Your Job for valuable tips on what to do before you walk out the door in a blaze of glory.
Take a Walk
You’re dying to get away from your desk, so why not burn some calories while you do it? Grab a colleague and hit the pavement. It’s easy to walk out of your frustration or simply burn some calories on your lunch break. Bonus, if you’re outside you can use the opportunity to soak up some vitamin D.
Make Your Commute Easier
Take time to figure out a better way to get to and from work. If you absolutely hate sitting in traffic, have you considered public transit?
