How do you work smarter and keep work-related pressures from getting to you? A number of possibilities exist.

1. Take a real vacation. Completely being away from work is one of the best ways to recharge your batteries. Any kind of change of scene will help. Taking a class, helping an elderly relative — anything that lets you get off the boring work will help you feel like yourself again. 36 .

2. Work out, no matter what. Giving yourself a pass from working out just because you have a busy day is a terrible idea. 37 . Exercise is a great help for stress. Burnouts become less common when you put yourself first for at least a little while each day.

3. 38 . Managers tend to reward their workers for their efforts, even if they are far from perfect. You should do the same for yourself and reward yourself from time to time, too. A movie, a gift for yourself — both add up to helping you feel good about yourself.

4. Create. Learning how to create in business or anything else can be a tremendous contributor to feeling in control. Identify a creative attempt to apply yourself to and commit yourself to it. 39 .

5. Learn to not be hard on yourself. Guilt is one of the most unproductive emotions that one can experience. If you have not been working as well as you would like, being severely self-critical will not help you improve.

40 . Determining to never be addicted to guilt or self-criticism can immediately help you feel better about life and work.
