One of the first things that someone can do, in my opinion, is to give your full effort while you are at work, so you can get everything done that you need to while you are there. If you aren’t finishing all that you need to be doing at work and it is seeping into your time at home, then you are going to be stressed because you have to work longer than you want to and that takes away time for you to do other things that you need to do in your personal life.
Something that can be helpful as well is regular exercise. I find this to be a great way to reduce the stress that you might experience at work, as well as if you do find that your job is stressing you out at home, exercising can help boost your mood and sense of wellbeing, which is awesome!

There are a lot of things that you can do when you take some time off from work. Let it be a time to do something fun and relaxing.
So, whenever you are feeling the stress of work sneak into your personal life, do something to relax, take some time off from work, give your full effort while you are at work, go on a vacation, read a book, exercise, set aside a little bit of time to stress if you need to and then move on. Implement a few of these tactics and I’m sure you will start to feel the stress from work slowly seep away.
