3. Relaxing Music – Relaxing music can definitely help relieve tension and stress created in the workplace.  It lets your body relax and allows the stress to slip away.  But, you need to make sure that the music that you are listening to will not affect your daily duties as well as ensure that it is allowed in your workplace.
4. Games – Games are a great way to relieve stress.  A good example would be to play a game after you get a sale or lead as a telemarketer.  This can also apply to many other sales related jobs where you can be rewarded by your performance.
5. Drink a Cup of Tea – There are many teas on the market that are designed to help you relieve stress.  Not only are they good for you, but in most cases, there should be no issue with you having the tea at work.  Even if it isn’t stress relieving, even your favorite drink (non-alcoholic of course) can help you to relax.
