If you are experiencing work-related stress, consider these strategies. Exercise regularly: This helps your body build resilience to stress. Focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly and evenly. Focus on what’s going on in your body as you inhale and exhale. Remember, what you are experiencing is temporary. Understand what you can and cannot control. Work on changing the things you can. Practice accepting the things you cannot change. You can still change how it affects you, and how you respond to it.
