Overwhelmed at work?!
Question: I love my job, it is high pace and I am a very hyper person and wouldn't want a slow count the minutes type position. HOWEVER; I am consumed by it, I feel so stressed and end up lying in bed at night thinking about what I have to do the next day, does anyone have any techniques to de-stress at work? Keep in mind I can't get up and walk around (wish I could), but I need to do something because I am ready to pull my hair out.

I listen to VERY relaxing music while at work. It makes you slow down. Deepak Chopra, Guided Hypnosis, Natural sounds, Native American Music, even Joel Osteen. I turn my iPod on and put one earbud in so I can listen on the phone with my other ear. Breathing helps. If you have 5 minutes, spend the whole 5 minutes taking deep breaths in through your nose, and out of your mouth. Notice them. Count them. Helps circulation in the brain and is relaxing. Seems strange, I know. The music is different to me too, I used toonly listen to Hip Hop and other mainstream artists, but this worked.
Rhodiola Rosea (Siberian Golden Root) is an adaptogen and can help the body recover from, and cope with, stressful situations.
Chronic levels of stress are damaging to the body in the long term.
