Reduce Stress at Work










With more budget cuts, furlough, and more work to go around than employees, your current work environment may be very stressful.

We looked to Shape magazine to give us tips to reduce stress at work.
1. Get Moving - release endorphins and restore balance - take a coffee break, take a short walk around the building

2. Eat Breakfast - being hungry and low blood sugar are no good

3. Grab a Snack - keep your blood sugar levels in check

4. Cut back on caffeine and alcohol - be careful, these substances exacerbate your anxiety by releasing stress hormones

5. Stretch it Out - Hunching over your computer all day takes a toll, stretch your neck, back, and shoulders
