I read today that a poll conducted by Monster.com showed
that 60 percent of people in the world experience daily stress 18 to 20 times
per month at work.
In the legal world, that’s a pretty good number. I think I could double that number based on
my own stress level.
What do you do to relieve stress at work?
For me, music helps. When I’m not doing a task that requires
intense focus, like when I’m entering attorney time, I often put on a headset
and listen to a few instrumental tunes.
Or, if I’m particularly stressed, I will stop and take a walk downstairs
for a cup or coffee or tea.
When time permits, I’ll take a lunch-time walk to “walk it
out.”
Whatever you need to “keep calm and carry on,” by all
means, do it.
Many days, I’m just grateful for this little frog stress
ball.
It’s almost Friday!
