Using Your MIGHTY Team to Relax at Work

Posted July 29, 2009 - 7:29am by How-To Team
Posted in:

Here is one idea for using your MIGHTY team to reduce stress at work:


  • Step 1 Schedule a Break Together -- Before the work day begins, go over your schedule with teammates.  Is there a time that you can schedule a break with one or some of your teammates?  Even if you can't do it at the same time, you can each commit to taking a stress reduction break at a particular time that day.  Each person should put it in their calendar.

  • Step 2 Breathe -- When your relaxation break comes, begin with deep breathing.  You can also try some visulaization at this time as well.

  • Step 3 Move -- At minimum, get up and stretch.  Try progressive muscle relaxation. Or take a walk, even for a couple minutes, around the block or to another part of the building. Look at the sky, even if it's just through a window.

  • Step 4 Write -- Let your friends know that you kept your stress reduction appointment.  You can post online, or just pick up the phone and text a Note to your team.  Share with them the craziest, most frustrating, or funniest thing that has happened so far that day.  Sharing the stresses of the job with others can help drain their power over you.
