I stay calm by planning my office work. I do one task at a time, so I don’t feel too stressed. When I feel tired or worried, I take a short walk or talk to someone.

I keep up by using a to-do list of daily tasks and most importantly by taking naps in between. If not exercise then try going for a short walk it definitely helps!

By the sheer thought of “this shall too pass”.
By taking it day-to-day, hour-to-hour, minute-to-minute.
Sometimes just focusing on a different stressor (gives a brief break from the current stress)

Are these all dysfunctional? yes… So, please do find better coping mechanisms! :sweat_smile:

Doing absolutely nothing and having something to eat has so far helped me to manage my stress
