Tools to work without stress :

• Breathe occasionally : Breathing is always at your disposal and can induce relaxation. Whenever you feel nervous, remember that you can breathe. Practicing inhalations on 8 and exhalations on 12 calms your central nervous system and gives you greater vitality. Knowing how to breathe can help us regulate any emotion or sensation, including stress or anxiety. Do not underestimate its power, because it can help you sustain any type of experience or solve problems.
• Be grateful and compassionate with yourself : another great catalyst for well-being and calm is gratitude . When we appreciate the things we do, the objects "we have", the achievements and failures experienced, life takes on a new and fuller perspective. We work with more presence and dedication. We accept each other more, with our less and our more . Being grateful and compassionate with yourself at work is essential to living with less anxiety. To improve and create. Innovate and materialize.
• Remember that life has an end : this is vital. Life has an end. Repeating this to yourself throughout your workday will teach you to appreciate each task undertaken. To feel alive with each new project. Instead of thinking that you have many things to do, focus your attention on what you are doing at the present moment . Who tells you that you will continue breathing in the next hour? Don't take anything for granted; Live as if death is watching you. Ultimately, we know nothing. Relax and enjoy yourself. Do what is in your hands and let the rest flow organically. No resistance. With curiosity and peace.
• Choose the cadence that aligns with your nature : we all have our own cadence. Our way of functioning on earth. Some love speed, others delight in slowness and ease. Some feel alive with obsessive doing, others prioritize doing with meaning. Each one works at a different pace: and that at work is obvious and clear . Do not compare yourself with others, because they come from another environment. Let your own pace guide you. Live following the cadence of your own body. Without fear or attachment.
• Learn to communicate honestly : speaking with your colleagues and bosses with sincerity and kindness is essential. Learning to communicate your emotions and sensations with others can help you let go . Let go of the weight of expectations. To work with more authenticity and harmony. If you feel that there are things that you don't get to, let them know who needs to know. Communicating from the heart and the absence of ego, everything is understood and can be understood. And if others can't put themselves in your situation, have the courage to love yourself the same. To accept you the same To forgive you and continue.
