This post is part of a series on how to deal the worst of a bad week.

1.

Work on your schedule.

If you’re lucky enough to be in a position to do so, take a look at the schedule of other people.

Are they doing the same?

Are they getting the same work done?

If so, they might be able to find out from the other person.

This can be particularly helpful when working on a task with multiple people.

When I have to get up in the morning, I try to work with someone else who can do it with me.

If I’m working with my team, I’ll usually take a break in between tasks, either to take a shower or have a coffee.

2.

Take a break.

It’s normal to have a break when you’re tired or stressed.

You’re not alone, and there are lots of people around who are willing to help.

The idea is to take the opportunity to relax and unwind.

Sometimes you can get away with just a few hours of downtime, and when you can do so without being interrupted, you’re more likely to feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

3.

Practice relaxation exercises.

There are a number of ways to practice relaxation.

These can range from meditation to yoga to deep breathing.

You can also try to do them while watching TV or reading.

If these techniques don’t work, try stretching exercises.

They’ll help you relax, too.

4.

Be mindful.

As mentioned earlier, you should take a few minutes to think about your day.

This might sound like a simple thing, but it’s a good time to reflect on your priorities, how you feel about your work and your life.

This is especially helpful if you’re dealing with a lot of stress or anxiety.

The first step is to look at how you’re feeling.

Is there something you’re doing that makes you feel anxious or stressed?

Is it affecting your life?

If you don’t know exactly what’s causing the anxiety, you might need to consider getting help.

5.

Take time to think.

There’s a lot to think and a lot you don.

So if you need to stop, take time to pause and think about it.

If that’s not an option, consider going to a quiet place, like your bedroom, and reflecting on what you’re experiencing.

If all else fails, consider getting a break from work for a few days, maybe a week or two.

It might be a good idea to check in on your work-life balance periodically.

6.

Get help.

Sometimes the worst is worse than the best.

If something goes wrong, you can always seek help.

Your doctor, social worker or other support system can be an important resource for you, as they can help you find out what’s going on and provide a safe place to talk.

7.

Try to stay positive.

Sometimes, a bad episode can be a relief.

Sometimes it’s not.

There might be moments of calm in your life that you can celebrate.

The best way to deal is to stay focused on what’s important to you and make positive changes to your day, work and social life.
