How To Stay Chill Under Pressure

Honestly, Tower One and Exchange Plaza is one of the busiest skyscrapers in Makati CBD.
If you chance upon working in the building, then you are one of the melting potheads in the corporate cubicles. The demand of the corporate setting may be too much for one day which can push you to the brink of anxiety. 

Other than anxiety, the daily grind can be too much for your mind and body. Luckily, there are ways to keep composure in the workplace. Below are four things that can help you stay chill at work:

1. Gather your thoughts

The mind takes in everything - the overwhelming feeling of tight deadlines, unfinished work, and boisterous office floor. 

Take a deep breath.
Focus on your breathing while filtering your thoughts. Your mind may be grappling with too many things at the same time.

If you’re feeling like drowning or agitated with the people around you, you must step away from your desk. If you can, remove yourself from the room. Take a walk or stay in an empty place. You need to focus on your feelings and recesses of your brain. Take your time to plan and strategize how you will approach the problem. It will you compose yourself and get ready to tackle new challenges. Segregating yourself from the situation is particularly helpful if you are dealing with tight deadlines and emotionally taxing conditions that can scatter your thoughts.

2. Listen to music

music, sounds, walking, street, relax, chill
Music makes everything better. 

The melodies and tune of a track can bring you to tears while the words can melt your fears. The vibe from the music depends on the tempo and genre of the song. Of course, the song that moves or inspires you will also depend on your taste.

Listening to music also has a lot of health benefits. It significantly reduces stress and places you in a calm state of mind. Instrumental music is ideal for people who focus. The tune is excellent as background noise. Although natural sounds such as traffic noise, chatter, rain, wind breeze and animal buzz are already perfect background sounds, they lack rhythm. On the other hand, upbeat songs boost your mood and make you happier. Fast paced tunes also enhance your performance during physical activity because it elevates heartbeat. 

3. Find a reason to laugh

“Laughter is the best medicine.” 

If you have a cold, laugh. If you break your heart, giggle.

Laughter stimulates the organs and gives the body a quick workout. It contorts the muscle of the face, pushes blood pressure to rise and encourage more intake of breath. It also boosts our immune system, which helps us fight foreign bodies that cause sickness.

Look for sources of entertainment and laugh as much as you want. Comedic movies, short videos, hilarious comic strips, jokes and others are some things you can digest each day to provide relief on a hell week. Laughing is also contagious. The next time a co-worker comes to the station giggling at something, pry. Join the fun!

4. Fix yourself

Sit up. Straighten your back. 

Hunched shoulders and slouching positions do not only contribute to poor posture. It also makes you feel conscious of yourself which affect your confidence. When you have low self-esteem, you are less likely to smile and be open to people. Raised eyebrows and the forlorn look is not exactly people magnet. Moreover, frowning affects the mood and decreases the chance of maintaining a positive disposition throughout the day.

If you lack confidence or can’t find a reason to stay positive, turn inwardly.

Fix yourself. Choose office attire in bright colors. Take time to style our hair and wear clean shoes. Looking put together is a great confidence booster. It also helps you to dust off the pressure of the work from your body,

The moment you feel a buildup of tension in your body and your back slouching, use these steps as a guide to retain your sense of balance. Listen to music, get a new look or catch up on your humor. Compose yourself and think about which remedy strikes you best.
