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.

stress yourself with heels if your knees cannot take
them.

knees, feet and hands.

near a window to get some sunlight and fresh air.
