your physical stress can help you reduce stress and anxiety. According toanxiety therapy experts, a person can feel much better if he or she has control
of breathing. If you're not able to control and regulate your breathing, you
are likely not going to subdue anxiety.

that is burning down on you from time to tim or whenever any of them approaches
you to talk to you, whatever it is , identify it and practice techniques like
slow breathing to bring back your body and breath to the normal. If you don’t feel well take a bathroom
break and practice slow breathing or rather go out of the office to a solemn
area, nature as a way of easing anxiety,get some fresh air and practice breathe

When
you’ve experienced worry and chronic stress for an extended period of time,your mind may tend to jump to conclusions and read into every situation with a
negative lens, most of the stress we experience is not due to strainous activities
but because we think too much when we are in a controllable situation and In
that process, opening up to different negative opinions in our minds. And you
know what they say about your mind being an asset to changing you life. When
you begin to have negative thoughts play through your mind, things might turn out
just as it is in your mind.
For instance,
if your boss doesn’t say hi to you first thing in the morning, you might react thinking he
is mad at you or you did something wrong, in the process, trying to think of
what you did or said or even what you did not do. At the end of the day you get
yourself worked up from the series of uestukn you had to ask your self. You let
it clash your work, general disposition to work and even your achievement and accomplishment
for that day.
Instead
of making an automatic judgement, try distancing yourself from your negative
thought and simply observe.

conflict can take a major toll on your emotional well-being and that's the last
thing you'd want as a newbie in your office. Try to avoid participating in
gossipy situations!

to spend less time with them or steer the conversation to safer topics.

yourself with it, especially if it's in a different part of town. Try to gain some
level of familiarity with your work space and even your colleagues, it helps to
regulate and control the level of anxiety you're likely to have. Engage a few of
them into valuable discussion even before you resume work, that in turn helps you
get your grounds to an extent even before you have started working.
Test
drive your new commute, and on your first day, take a few extra minutes to do a
lap around your new floor or desk area. You can also try to personalize your
workspace on one of your first days so you feel more confident in your office,
and a little more at ease. "There's going to be so many unknowns at a new
job, so long as you've got somewhere to go to, it starts giving you
familiarity. It is your known in an unknown situation."

One Person You Feel Comfortable With.
Navigating
a new office culture is definitely a thing, but you don't need to learn the
whole scoop your first week at work. Instead, find one friendly face that you
can hang with until the awkward co-worker meet and greets are over. "It
doesn't matter who they are — just someone you feel a ease with. Use that person
just as an anchor those first few days when you're feeling anxious.

can help you perform better at work but then oppositely, too much worry or
anxiety can lead to a diagnosed mental disorder which can impede your performance
