Stress in nothing more than a negative emotion that prevents you from accomplishing as much as you can in the office. What you should do is to redirect your emotions into a positive path, making you more productive at work.

These are a few ways to defeat workplace stress:

1. Each time you feel that you are about to get stressed out, pause for a minute and take 10 deep, long breaths of fresh air. If possible, excuse yourself from the room and take a few seconds to recompose yourself. It may sound too simple but once you try it, you will realize just how effective this method can be.

2. Take a clean sheet of paper and write out your thoughts and emotions. Getting it all on paper will help to clear out your mind and eliminate the source of stress from inside your body. Once you have jotted it all down, crumple up the sheet and throw it into the wastebasket, which can be a symbolic way of throwing away the stress as well. After doing this, you should be able to go back to whatever you are doing without any problems.

3. Think of something nice. As soon as your body starts showing signs of stress, stop what you are doing and think of a pleasant place or event, such as your favorite beach resort or a heavenly slice of chocolate cake. These thoughts will immediately melt away any stress that may be building up in your mind.

4. When you are full of stress it's not the best idea to play hard or heavy metal rock, rap, or punk. These lyrics are negative and songs about being heartbroken and angry are not going to help. If those are your favorite types of music then listen to them when you are in a good mood. At this time try classical or soft music.

5. The most effective way and the most popular these days is to use positive affirmations. These short positive statements are recited when you are stressed about the situation you're stressed about or something similar. It can be a verse from the bible or a poem that inspires you. You can also make up your own affirmations which works out better in the long run.

As you can see, these are very simple ways to beat stress in the office. You don't need to make major changes in your work routine just to perform these stress-release methods. You can even do them without having to leave your desk, and without anyone noticing anything different.
