Hey everyone,
Work stress can really pile up, especially when you’re knee-deep in spreadsheets and financial trails like I often am. Over time, I’ve found a few ways to hit the reset button when things start feeling overwhelming.
First, I step away from the screen and head outside. There’s something about being around plants—whether it’s my little indoor jungle or a walk through a nearby park—that helps me recalibrate. Botany has been a hobby of mine for years, and it’s amazing how grounding it can be to just focus on something green and growing.
If I’m stuck indoors, I turn to sound editing. It’s a creative outlet that lets me focus on something completely different from numbers. Whether it’s tweaking a recording or layering sounds, the process is meditative and pulls me out of that work-induced tunnel vision.
Lastly, I’ve found that short, intentional breaks work wonders. Even just 10 minutes to stretch, breathe, or listen to a favorite track can make a huge difference. It’s all about giving your brain a chance to shift gears.
What about you all? Any go-to methods for shaking off that suffocating work stress? I’m always looking for new ideas!
