dangerous to health as secondhand
smoke. Here are 10 ways to stay
calm In the face of daily stress.
by  Faisal Hoque
founder  of:
Relax The Mind And
Productivity Will Follow
“To  survive  and  thrive  we  need  to  find  ways  to  
deal  with  pressure  and  uncertainty.”
  
There  are  any  number  of  scien<fic  studies  out  
there  that  show  the  deep  connec<on  between  
staying  calm  and  produc2vity.
Workplace  stress  can  be  as  dangerous  to  health  as  
secondhand  smoke,  according  to  a  large  review  of  
studies  by  researchers  at  Harvard  Business  School  
and  Stanford  University.
“Drink  your  tea  slowly  and  
reverently,  as  if  it  is  the  axis  on  
which  the  world  earth  revolves—
slowly,  evenly,  without  rushing  
toward  the  future.  Live  the  actual  
moment.”
- Thich Nhat Hanh
“Decide  in  advance  on  a  few  
possibiliAes  that  could  occur  and  how  
you  will  handle  them.  A  simple  
formula  such  as,  "If  X  happens,  I'll  do  
Y,"  can  make  all  the  difference.”
Plan Ahead
“MulA-­‐tasking  typically  leads  to  
chaos.  I  try  to  choose  one  task,  see  
it  through,  and  head  on  to  the  next  
task  that  needs  to  be  done.”
Focus On One Thing
At A Time
“Take  a  moment  to  regroup  and  
prepare  to  methodically  deal  with  
the  new  issue.”
Be Flexible
“Random  changes  confuse  us  and  
put  us  behind  schedule.”
Trust Yourself
“When  I  feel  like  I  am  geNng  
bombarded  from  every  angle,  I  take  a  
short  break  and  then  look  at  the  
situaAon  with  a  fresh  pair  of  eyes.  Just  
taking  those  few  seconds  to  count  to  10  
gives  me  the  distance  I  need  for  a  new  
perspecAve.”
Count To 10
“If  you  catch  yourself  
hypervenAlaAng,  try  inhaling  a  
deep  breath  through  your  nose,  
holding  it  a  second,  and  
releasing  it  from  your  mouth.  
Repeat  this  exercise  unAl  you  
feel  calmer.  This  is  a  form  of  
meditaAon.”
Control Your Breathing
“SeNng  prioriAes  helps  to  
maintain  a  sense  of  control.”
Don't Sweat The Small Stuff
“OTen  we  anAcipate  the  worst  possible—and  
oTen  ridiculous—conclusion  to  a  situaAon.
Instead  of  using  our  imaginaAon  to  scare  
yourself,  use  it  to  solve  the  problem.”
Avoid A Doom And Gloom Attitude
“The  more  we  pracAce  looking  on  
the  bright  side  of  things,  the  less  
frightening  and  grim  a  stressful  
situaAon  seems.”
Focus On The Positive
“Reach  out  to  others  for  help  when  
needed.  There  is  comfort  in  not  being  
alone  in  Ames  of  stress.”
Delegate And Seek Support
“The  more  tranquil  a  man  
becomes,  the  greater  is  his  
success,  his  influence,  his  power  
for  good.  Calmness  of  mind  is  
one  of  the  beauAful  jewels  of  
wisdom."
- James Allen
