Knock Out Your Stress, Not Your Coworkers

Here are Some Cute Products to Distract You.

Just talking about burnout makes us burnt out, but pressure and toxic work environments are almost inevitable wherever you go. You’re the best person to speak up for you when it comes to your mental and physical health—and stress definitely negatively impacts both. Are you walking around the office on Friday avoiding eye contact and all social encounters? Do you sprint out of your chair at 5 p.m. on the dot?

We understand and want to share our little secret for creating a little joy amid the chaos. We can't promise NO stress, but we can put a little positive spin on the view from your cubicle! Here are six products to keep at your desk to instantly perk you up:

At the end of the day, how you manage your stress is up to you. Do you need to go punch a heavy bag with your trainer? Or drink your bartender out of whiskey? Whatever helps you de-stress be sure to do it, and do it often! Keep a clear mind and your eyes on your goals are the first steps in achieving them. Clean off your desk, surround yourself with things that make you feel joy, rid yourself of the negative attitudes in the office, and concentrate on yourself. 

Marie Kondō, author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, says

“Keep only those things that speak to your heart. Then take the plunge and discard all the rest. By doing this, you can reset your life and embark on a new lifestyle.”
