Relaxed by the working day

If the work is already stacked in the office and the colleague also brings new files and tasks, the stress level rises in seconds. It is said to keep a cool head and not lose sight of the overview.

• Plan something you are looking forward to. And if it's just something small: a full bath, a meal, a meeting with a dear person ... Just let it go!

• Maintain your social contacts and be distracted by your friends. Laughing together and being active, the thoughts are no longer circling around the work.
