Relieve Work Stress (Without Getting Fired!)

1 2 3 4

They always say what really makes the job is not what you do, but the people you do it with. Too bad a lot of us have to work with real pain in the you-know-whats all day long! While you can’t expect to get along with everyone, dealing with rude, overly-bossy people at the office can be super-annoying…and not to mention STRESSFUL!

If you ever find yourself in a sticky work sitch, do not (I repeat DO. NOT!) log onto your fave social media outlet and vent. Don’t call up your mom or BFF to trash talk someone/something either (hi, coworkers have ears, too!). Instead, try one of these solutions so you can blow off that steam in an office-appropriate manner!

I don’t know about you, but finding a good quote—whether it describes exactly how I’m feeling, or just gives me a bit of motivation—always puts me in a better mood. Plus, you can’t get in trouble for stuff other people said! For 2012, buy a quote calendar like Workman Publishing’s Keep Calm and Carry On Page A Day calendar ($12.99 on GrandmasGiftware.com) for some well-said sayings. Save the ones you really love and hang them by your desk to stare at after you’ve CC’ed instead of BCC’ed everyone (whoops…).

    These are great tips and if you need to take a walk away from your desk so you won’t say anything you’ll regret later.
