I like pressure and deadlines, such as having a lot of assignments to work on, it really helps me to stay motivated and productive. Of course, there are times when too much pressure can lead to stress, and I was actually going through lots of stress over the last 2 weeks, many times I didn't had any clue of what to do next. I think when you face challenges that you never went through in your life, it makes you stronger. Saving Changes...

As Kiron said, we faced stress in our work!!! The best ways to reduce stress and continue your work as well!!! Meet your family and friends and go out outside, go to gym to forget your stress, go outside and drink coffee, read books, go to LinkedIn and share your knowledge...etc it means make different activities to change your mood to work properly!!!!

I watch old cricket videos :) Especially Sachin Tendulkar's innings and feel at ease:)
Also watch old hindi films or listen to old songs :)
I know that cricket is not popular in US/CA however point is to destress by listening to songs or watch films.
I also read my favorite book: the road less travelled

I agree, and not having enough to work on can lead to other kinds of stress. When I need stress release it helps to work out. I either ride my exercise bike or lift weights. Endorphins from exercise really help you feel better and more confident.

I try to use a stress plan which includes regular exercise including yoga. Also during the day build in breaks to stop and clear your mind. The biggest cause of stress is the feeling of being out of control and time pressures, so organize and manage your time can help alleviate stress

Stress is the body's natural defense against predators and danger. It flushes the body with hormones to prepare systems to evade or confront danger. This is known as the "fight-or-flight" mechanism.
When we are faced with a challenge, part of our response is physical. The body activates resources to protect us by preparing us either to stay and fight or to get away as fast as possible.
The body produces larger quantities of the chemicals cortisol, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. These trigger an increased heart rate, heightened muscle preparedness, sweating, and alertness. All these factors improve the ability to respond to a hazardous or challenging situation.
So Anish, just enjoy it as Stress can be a motivator. It can be essential to survival

I have had to deal with this for most of my career and with varying degrees depending on the role I have and the organisation that I work working with. Stress is a fact of life, but our stress thresholds are important. It's also important to note that the aggregate of stress in our life can result in poor health, and subsequently poor performance at work and in our personal lives. Stress is a serious subject. The aggregate affect of smart phones, computers, emails, meetings, traffic, poor diet, sedentary lifestyles, ambient noise, pollution, corporate offices (cube farms) and poor organisational governance can literally break us down one day at a time until we are depressed, overweight, and just plain miserable. Not to mention the impact of world events, politics etc. All of these things can add up and if we don't make lifestyle choices, often difficult choices we may continue to decline mentally and physically. Part of the solution for me is first to acknowledge the stress and look at it for what it really is and it's causes. Once I can identify the source(s) of the stress, I can begin making choices and taking action that lead to my wellness, which results in happiness, fulfilment and a much better performance at work and in my personal life. I would recommend this book highly to anyone open minded enough to read it. It has literally validated things I knew about my stress, body, and mind and what to do about it. The book is called Full Catastrophe Living by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Best of luck, keep breathing and take care of yourself first so that you and others will benefit from your wellness.
