I worked in for over 10 years, including as a Google consultant, before transitioning to being an associate security engineer at one of the largest banks. Working in the tech industry is stressful — it has extreme volatility, which has led me to feel anxious and depressed in the past. I've seen tech startups very suddenly with zero discussion. I've also worked in big companies and wondered, "Am I next?" High stress also impacted my relationships. My work took up a lot of my personal time, so I wasn't able to build as many relationships as I wish I had. Over the years, I've discovered hacks to mitigate stress, boost my mood, and increase productivity. These are my favorites. I take a 15 to 20-minute or cold shower every morning. The first five minutes are awful and shocking. Then I acclimate to it, and it actually feels really good. During the plunge, I feel extremely alert, the world looks brighter, and when I emerge, everything feels like a new beginning. I was very until I noticed it was severely affecting my mental clarity and focus. Now I try to stay off my phone as much as possible in the morning, and instead, meditate for 25 minutes. Ever since I made the switch, my mind has become quieter and I feel reset from the attention obsession that my digital devices create. I've realized I have to create balance in life by tuning into my body and intuition for guidance. I now listen more to my instincts. One time, I was working on a partnership and felt physically uneasy while reviewing the terms. Looking back, I realize I was sensing a subconscious resistance in my body about this partnership, which ended up going south. I often use my phone as an anxiety and comfort tool. The only way I've had luck mitigating this anxiety is by leaving my phone at home, coming back, and seeing that nothing horrible has happened. Let's say a vendor messes up a project, or the intern accidentally gets spam-attacked and is freaked out. Instead of panicking, I use the psychological strategy of the " ," asking myself, "What can I control in this stressful situation?" If the answer is nothing, I have to let it go. Doing small acts of kindness helps me take the focus off of myself and redirect my energy toward helping others. This can be helping someone at work, volunteering, or simply letting someone in front of me in traffic. At the end of the day, I can say, "Today didn't go super well, but I did something in my control to improve things." I live a privileged life, and it's easy to forget how hard life is for many other people. In my case, I used to have depression. I've seen bad days, but it's easier to forget when I make a . When I zoom out, I can see how lucky I am and that I have a lot to be thankful for. Every evening, around 9 p.m., I take a hot . Epsom salt regulates the nervous system and also staves off loneliness — or so they found in . I do this as a "day ender" to help me officially close out the day. Otherwise, I'll keep working into the night. Before I go to sleep at 10 p.m., I write down everything I'm worrying about as a "brain dump." I put it in a box and revisit it a week later to see how many of them came to pass. Almost do. Over time, I've gained more confidence and calmness. My colleagues always talk about my energy and good mood. These hacks allow me to be creative and productive at work, even in a stressful environment. Read the original article on
