Work can get overbearing sometimes, especially during these trying times.
But forcing yourself through the stress may not necessarily be a good idea, especially since it can affect the quality of your work. Instead, pull yourself away from it for a few minutes, take a breather, and gather your thoughts, then get back at it with a refreshed mind.
Here are some little things you can do, which will bring a whole lot of difference in your mood and your work…

4. Text your loved ones

5. Look at the picture of your favourite person
There’s a reason why people keep photos of their loved ones near them. It’s because simply looking at the photo will trigger a happy memory. So, if you have one of such photos on your work desk—and you should, if you don’t have one already—look at it and watch the stress slowly disappear.

Stay safe, stay at home if you can, practise good hygiene standards and have a wonderful day.
