Y'all how do you shake off the stress from a tough day at work?

I'm handling the conflict okay at work but then when I come home I find myself worn out and don't have energy for my personal life.

I'm handling some tough relationships and projects right now so the stress is not going to go away but I'm hoping I can shake it off quicker and move on. Appreciate any tips!

I often go through a roller coaster ride of stress at work, and what I found helps me a lot is being conscious of my health; making sure I sleep 7 hrs (sometimes I also function with 6 hrs), adequate water, nutritious meals, Omega 3 + Vitamin C to keep me going. I also try not to read/consume too much content after work, even when I love reading in my pastime, I would listen to music instead whatever I'm in the mood for. I sometimes swap coffee with matcha when I feel burnt out as well! And for days when people piss me off at work, I vent out my anger through yoga or a good run. Meditation used to work but I'm finding it hard to release all my pent up emotions. Hope that was helpful :)

Meditation and yoga helps! Takes practice, and persistent. So if you do it for a few days and then don’t for another few days, don’t write off the progress. Just pick it back up when ready.

Also in the moment, some slow, deep breathing is good to reset the nervous system and help manage the anxiety. Lots of YouTube videos on this and can be some quick tips to help you when you are feeling like you need the support.

Lastly, I find getting some fresh air/ sun, or seeing friends/ loved ones also help lift my mood and redirect energy. Would recommend this if it’s possible during the day.

Exercise works for me. The endorphins really change my mood and outlook, especially when I don't want to go to the gym.

Do know these stressful moments are temporary. Remind yourself. Disconnecting and reframing the issue helps. Will this issue matter in 5 or 10 years? Probably not. Is it worth spending energy and emotions on this which wouldn’t matter in the long run? Probably not. Also, remember, you don’t have to win the stress, you just have to go through it and come out at the other end. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself and give some grace.

Anything is better than being virtual and I am trying to look at the bright side, but moving backward still burns. We have parent-teacher conferences coming up and I am hoping that it’s temporary.

not alcohol/drugs related but more so to do with p*rn addiction. i have struggled for years with this and I am currently making a lot of progress. I started to make real progress once I started telling people (fiance, counsellor, pastor, etc).

I really don't think it should just be considered a religious thing since it effects the brain a lot and can obviously hurt your relationship. Wanted to see if others also struggle with this and are open to sharing.
