How do you manage stress in your day-to-day?

Hi Blinders! I’m looking for anyone in the workforce (both tech and non-tech) who’s willing to talk about how you manage stress in your day-to-day life (or don’t), and what you wish you had at work to help you relax and focus. Are you in control of your emotions? Or are they in control of you? How do you manage any anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Let’s chat! DM me please :-) For your participation and time chatting with me, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. PS: I’m no longer at Amazon to clarify; and PPS: this is for a research project— looking for folks who’re willing to spend some time talking about this topic seriously. PPS: Research is ongoing, so please feel free to contact me—whether you’re reading this the same day I posted this topic versus few weeks later. Thank YOU!

I try to work out in the morning and take a walk at noon. I also try to have as many meeting in person to change my perspective and allow myself to be more focused on the discussion.

Leave the job or find a different job

+1. If you are feeling extreme, chronic stress on account of your job that you can’t seem to manage, it’s time to leave for a new company or simply take a month or two off. No tech job is worth it.

Perceived stress = adrenaline response. Consume the adrenaline by exercising so your body can recover, instead of continuing to circulate that adrenaline through your bloodstream.
