    Get a good night's sleep each night. When you don't get enough rest, your body suffers from fatigue. You may be groggy, less focused and unable to think clearly. Additionally, your emotions may be closer to the surface and you could experience bouts with crankiness and moodiness. Being well-rested helps you be your best in a stressful workplace.

    Take your time in the morning as you prepare to go to work. Being in a hurry only adds to the stress of your day. Set your alarm early enough each day so that you can get up in time to enjoy your morning.

    Avoid burn-out at work. Whether this means taking a 5-minute break each afternoon or a week-long vacation each summer, be sure to take some time away from the office. After a break, it's easier to come back to work refreshed and enthusiastic about projects and tasks at hand.

    Exercise. One of the best stress busters is exercise. Pick the kind of exercise you like to do and incorporate it into your daily schedule. Maybe an aerobics class after work is your choice. Or, perhaps you prefer to take a 30-minute walk during your lunch break. As long as you're getting in some form of regular exercise, it will help your body relax and beat the stress of your work environment.

    Budget your time and plan projects. Waiting until the last minute to start a project or finding out near a deadline that you're unprepared causes additional stress in an already stressful situation. By planning ahead, you eliminate these risks.

    Reduce your stress levels at home. Resist the urge to bicker with your husband or argue with your children over small things. Discard unrealistic goals about housekeeping or other aspects about your home life. Create a relaxing home environment as a refuge from work.

    Maintain a positive attitude. Even on the most stressful day at the office, a positive attitude helps you to shrug off the stress and focus on the tasks at hand.
