- Be active - do some physical activity
- Take control - there is always a solution and taking control will empower you to find a solution
- Connect with people - friends, family and work colleagues can help you to see things in a different way
- Have some me-time - do something you really enjoy away from work a couple of times a week
- Challenge yourself - set yourself a challenge, such as learning something new
- Avoid unhealthy habits - turning to alcohol, smoking or eating unhealthy food will not solve your problems, in fact it is more likely to create new ones
- Do volunteer work or do someone a favour - helping others can make you happy and aware that there are others in worse situations
- Work smarter, not harder - prioritise your work by doing the most important things first and accept that there will always be more work to do. Try and achieve a work-life balance
- Be positive - try and think about the good things in your life and things you should be grateful for
- Accept the things you cannot change - concentrate on the things that you can control and not the things that you can't.
