Taking good care of yourself and maintaining a healthy and happy balance in your life are important parts of staying healthy, happy, and resilient. I encourage you to find healthy, enjoyable activities to take time for outside of work, including things like engaging in creative or artistic activities, reading and learning something new, spending time with friends and loved ones, going on nature walks, and pursing personal passions. I also suggest incorporating small changes into your daily lifestyle to increase feelings of self-care and calm, including having plenty of restful sleep, eating healthy meals, and engaging in regular exercise. I encourage you to carve out daily time for the things that bring you joy, inspiration, and relaxation and to connect deeply with the beauty and wonder of the world around us. You are also welcome to reach out to me anytime at any time if you feel that you are struggling with a stressful or distressing situation and need support. I am here to listen and provide non-judgmental support, empathy, and wise guidance to help you find ways to care for yourself, feel more in control of your own life, and live your best possible life.

There are many ways you can relax, take care of yourself and gain more harmony and peace in your life. Practicing being more mindful, taking time for meditation, exercise and self-care are all highly recommended. Getting outside and spending time in nature is also beneficial, relaxing by activities like soaking in a bath, listening to calming music or reading a good book may also be helpful. Exploring accepting and cultivating your personal passions, pursuing personal interests, or connecting with others on an authentic, meaningful basis can be rich sources of deeper wellbeing and fulfillment. I encourage you to experiment with different ways of finding relaxation and stillness in your daily life. If you are interested in exploring relaxation on a deeper level, many techniques such as Yoga, Meditation, Mindfulness, Emotional Awareness, and many other activities can be very useful. Below are several websites with many free resources for learning valuable practices and techniques to cultivate relaxation and wellbeing. Additionally, below are some additional resources for psychological counseling and therapy, which may also be helpful for managing stress and working through challenges in your life. Please contact these organizations should you desire additional support, guidance and/or resources.

Can you help me find ways to deal with immense stress at work?

I'm very sorry to hear that you are experiencing increased stress at work - I understand that this may be a very difficult time for you. It is important to be mindful, and to focus on caring for yourself and your mental health throughout this difficult time. You may be interested in taking some time to explore self-care strategies, including things like taking breaks, spending time on enjoyable activities outside of work, talking to supportive friends and loved ones, and cultivating your personal passions. I strongly encourage you to reach out for support and connect with someone who can be a good listener and a trusted advisor - this could be a family member or close friend, or perhaps a professional counselor or therapist. If you are experiencing significant anxiety and/or depression related to your work, I also strongly recommend seeking professional support, either through therapy or additional treatment from your personal physician. The resources listed below -- the Employee Assistance Program and Employee Relocation Help -- may be of some assistance to you as well, and you are highly encouraged to reach out to them if you desire additional support and guidance. Finally, if you believe you are the target of harassment or violence at work, I strongly urge you to contact your supervisor as well as local authorities to ensure you are protected and in a safe environment
