5 Tips to Relieve Office Stress This Holiday Season For 2019

It’s the holiday season again! Can you believe how fast this year has flown in 2019? While we love the holidays here at Spa Flow, it’s also one of our busiest times of the year. Chances are, it’s busy at your office too with the mad rush to get goals and other work completed before year’s end. It’s also a super stressful time of year. Exactly how are you supposed to relieve office stress and still get all your work done? Read on for 5 tips to relieve stress at the office this holiday season.

1. Get organized. Often work during the holiday season requires late hours, working overtime and an additional workload. Because of this, you often have to do more to balance work with your personal/home life. That’s where organization comes in to show its big helpful hand. Creating a schedule, planning your meals (which include packing your lunch), getting up on time, creating your TO DO list (and checking items off as they’re completed) all go a long way in making your day go more smoothly…and with less stress.

2. Chair Massage. It’s no secret that chair massage is a welcome addition to the office. With benefits like increasing productivity, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, pain relief and boosting office morale, chair massage is one of the top means of stress relief at the office for the holidays.

3. Participate in office holiday events. Speaking of boosting office morale, participating in your workplace’s holiday events is a great mood lifter and stress reliever. Skipping the bah humbug viewpoint and going to the holiday potluck or participating in the Secret Santa office gift exchange will have you feeling as fun and festive as you can be.

4. Office Yoga/Meditation. These popular mindfulness practices have made their way into the workplace and for good reason! They can be done in the office (even at your desk), fully clothed and are great for improving your focus and also keeps your blood circulating. Let’s face it, holiday stress at the office can have you feeling all out of whack. Office yoga and meditation can get you realigned in no time!

5. Play holiday music. Studies have shown that music is a great stress reliever. When you consider holiday music, you’ll find that statement is even more true. Who can resist a little dashing through the snow or chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Kick that holiday stress to the curb and hit the repeat button. But don’t forget your earbuds, you’re at work after all.
