5 Essential Ways to Deal with Stress at Work

Topics

Even though I teach wellbeing, I’m still running two companies, overseeing a team of a dozen, and directing a whole medley of operations. This means that managing stress from work is critical. After all, we are natural organisms (not the machines we often feel like). Here are some of the ways I keep stress in check:

Consider your energy source: If your cortisol levels need some TLC or you’re prone to jitters, try a non-caffeine, herbal alternative to coffee. Rhodiola, mucuna pruriens, and ginsengs are some of my go-tos.
Up your desk game: If you live there all day, add some supports for perspective and peace. A pitcher for beverages, essential oil for focus, HRBLS gummies for calm, or a plant.
Prioritize rest: Improper rest makes us less efficient, more crave-y, and shortens our life! That’s why sleep is a non-negotiable for me.
Just move: Another non-negotiable! If moving daily truly isn’t an option, consider a standing desk, and double up on the days when you can get some movement in.
Look for enjoyment in work: Finding meaning in work can change our relationship to stress — so we experience just enough of it to push us to the next level, but not so much where it harms our health.
