How to avoid getting stressed at your workplace:-
1. Do not skip breakfast. Have a whole breakfast
with protein, carbohydrates and fat in this
sequence of portion.
2. Your cabin/ table/ cubicle should have things
that keep you grounded, rooted and self-
connected. Eg: family picture, your favourite
coffee mug, a cherished memento. Placing a
fresh flower each day will help enliven the official
and grave environment.
