The winter months come with a certain amount of stress attached to them. Not only do we have the festive season almost upon us, with all the stress that brings (and enjoyment, of course) but there is also a high possibility of bad weather too.
If you find that the winter months leave you feeling stressed out and seeking solace in your booths, then these 5 tips should help you avoid that overwhelming feeling from spiralling out of control.
- Have something to look forward to, e.g. plan a winter break
- Try positive affirmations
- Use deep breathing exercises
- Incorporate regular exercise into your routine
- Use weekly goal lists to keep everything organised, and to allow you to feel a sense of control
You should also think about your office environment and perhaps utilise some plants or flowers, to give you a sense of nature. This has been shown to reduce stress and increase productivity at the same time.
