With the current economic crisis and many people losing or worried about losing their jobs what can you do to beat the stress? Where I work the rhetoric from the top is not encouraging at times. I get a lot of regular exercise and it helps.

I think exercise and eating right are important. It can be so hard to get away from job stress, especially if you work in an office. Gossip can really add to the stress level. I limit my time watching the news because it was really getting to me. I try to spend more time doing fun things such as spending time with my dogs. I sometimes wish my life could be as simple as my dogs. LOL

I find exercise a great way to beat the stress also. I enjoy long walks, with my ipod on. I try very hard to leave the job behind , also, when I walk into my home. Easier said than done, I know.

Leaving the job at the office is a must when you work in a call centre like I do. I exercise regularly and try to eat right but leaving the work at work is the real biggie for me. When I punch out I try not to give any of it another thought until I punch back in tomorrow.

I work at home, so it can be hard to leave the stress at the office. I do close my office door and do not go back into the office after I am through working for the day. I play computer games sometimes just to get my mind off of work or watch a funny show such as AFV.
