Ask for help – if you’re finding your work load too much, it’s fine to ask for help; we’re not superhuman!
Take time off – take breaks from work. A long weekend away or even just time off to potter at home can be the welcome break we need
Stay Active – exercise is not only good for the body, but also for the mind
Use your journey home to wind down from work – listen to music, read a book on the bus or practice some mindfulness techniques. Anything to move your mind away from your day at work
Put yourself before work – it may pay the bills, but your health is more important than work. If work is causing you too much stress in your life, maybe a change is needed
