We have all been there, sat at work, the phone is ringing, you have a million and one things to finish before you go home, but you just can't seem to concentrate. Well chances are you are suffering from stress!

Stress is extremely common in the work place and can range from lack of concentration, feeling tired and run down to a whole range of other more serious symptoms. So it is important to try and tackle your stress and not let it build up. Below are few tips and tricks that you can do which should provide some stress relief:

Stress Relief Techniques

  1. Deep Breaths - take some time out and take deep regular breaths, breath in...breath out...This will also work great in conjunction with getting some fresh air, get away from your desk for 5 minutes!
  2. Noting - this is a great technique and allows you to right down or record your thoughts, obviously if it's your boss who is stressing you out make sure you don't leave your thoughts laying around or your boss could be in for a surprise!!
  3. Listen To Music - grab five minutes on a break to listen to some music on your ipod or car stereo. Listening to your favourite song can provide some welcome stress relief.
  4. Laughter - Is one of the best medicines and your troubles can seem a mile away after a good laugh. Laughing actually releases endorphins which are a feel good factor and your stress levels should soon be on their way down.

If you are concerned about your stress levels then you should always consult your local GP for some stress relief advice.

Although some people are more prone to higher stress levels it is the responsibility of the employer to provide a stress free working environment. We should all play our part in working closely with each other to provide relief for individuals who are suffering with high stress levels.

One great way to provide some temporary stress relief is with stress balls. Although these relievers may look like a bit of fun they are an important outlet for stress relief. They act as a focal point for someone to channel their anxieties and stress at, providing some welcoming temporary relief.
