9 Ways to Beat Work Stress

Meditate On It

Don't be scared off by the word meditation. You don't have to be a practicing Buddhist to benefit from it. After all, meditation is basically just calming yourself down through a series of deep breathing exercises in order to refocus and reenergize.

If you're really that hung up on the word meditation and all that comes with it, then think of it as "zoning out" instead. Find a quiet place at work and try to block out as much noise as possible. Then, when you're calm, visualize a peaceful image in your mind and focus on it while controlling your breathing.

Even 10-15 minutes can greatly ease your stress and bring some much-needed balance and peace of mind in the face of chaos.
