How can I control my anxiety as it relates to my stress at work, so it does not spill over into my personal life?

I've heard that if when you get up in the morning, you can sit down and write a journal entry, free flow- without purposeful structure to what you write, then it can help alleviate stress in your daily life. I started putting it into practice, and I have noticed how much easier it is to deal with stress as it comes on, because I usually get out a bunch of stress filled thoughts in the morning in my journal.

Try meditation. It is great for clearing the mind and cleansing it of anxieties. There are several guided meditations on youtube you can listen to. I recommend anything by Lilian Eden.

Try to relax at all times possible, don't bring work home with you and try to go out more to forget about work. It really helps :)

We do have a work related stress self help guide that I highly recommend you check out. The main key points I found from it were: identify what is stressing you out and how you personally respond to it. Once you've done that, you can more effectively help yourself. Self care, breaks, time management, and seeking support are crucial. Good luck, friend!

Give yourself room to breathe. Explain to your loved ones that you need time to release some tension before you dive into the busy home life.

First, you must decide what it is at work that is causing your anxiety and go from there. If you feel like you are not completing tasks on time or are not given enough time to complete these tasks, try to come up with a healthy alternative, such as staying an hour late, working through lunch, or coming in early. If you feel like your work tasks are overwhelming, try asking a coworker for assistance or switching tasks with someone else. If your boss is giving you anxiety, try discussing this with him/her and see if you can come up with a reasonable solution.

If you feel you are ever having an anxiety attack, excuse yourself if you are in public for a moment and take 10 seconds to relax. Sit down, and take 10 deep breaths. Count to 10, and remind yourself that it's going to be okay. Once you feel your body is back to normal, resume what you were doing.

Just like you might do on 7 cups, it my be worth expressing how you feel to someone about your work, that way you can talk about it and get those worries off your chest. It may also be worth investigating why your work has been causing you so much stress in the first place.
