Stress for most individuals is a temporary feeling. Although, when built up over time it can take a toll on your physical health and emotional wellbeing. Blame it on short deadlines, long to-do lists or the fast pace at which the world moves. Whatever the reason, it is harder to remain stress-free and perform to the best of your ability at work nowadays. Here are some tips to help you stay calm and energised throughout the day.

Whether you have a lot of emails or an extensive to-do list, sitting at a desk can leave you feeling agitated and stressed. The best way to find your calm place at work is to go for a short walk.
Going out and getting some fresh air will allow the brain to release important endorphins that help anxiety, increase energy and will improve your overall mood.
