1. If you feel like you’re slowly getting stressed out, the first thing to do is to acknowledge it. Don’t think that if you are getting stressed out, you’re inferior or can’t handle the workload that has been given to you.  Stress is a natural feeling that can be easily dealt with.

2. Take a few deep breaths to control your stress levels. Breathe in for five seconds and then slowly breathe out for 10 seconds. Do this about five to 10 times again. By breathing in and out slowly you’re counteracting your body’s fight or flight response that it feels when you start getting stressed. The breathing helps restores your body’s calm and helps you to access more positive thoughts.

3. Stop thinking. While you’re doing your breathing exercises, don’t think about every single work task you still have to complete. The minute they pop into your head, let them pass through; don’t dwell on your thoughts.

4. Always keep a positive, happy memory in your thoughts. Whenever you’re feeling down or feel overly stressed out, think of that positive memory. It’s been said that a positive thought could help restore your emotional balance and put you back on the right track.

5. Once you’ve calmed down and can think straight again, think carefully about what you can do to solve the problem. Finding a solution will restore your confidence and give you a sense of control and power.

6. Don’t dwell on the past or what could go wrong. Learn to accept each moment as it comes or you’ll only end up stressing yourself out over things that are out of your control.

7. Take a few minutes every day and do some positive reflection. Spend about 20 minutes on your own and think about all the good things you’ve managed to achieve. This will help to not only lift your moods, but also make your brain more familiar with its rational and less reactive side.
