I work in a restaurant as an assistant kitchen manager. We are a very busy restaurant and each day is very demanding. There are a lot of young people that work there and they are just there for the pay cheque. I get very tense at work dealing with the day to day issues and would like to remain calm and stress free can anyone suggest something to get rid of the stress through out the day

I also work in a high stress career and have found that basic distractions at work help me the best. I eat a lot of hard candies, they help relieve stress because you can concentrate on the taste, shape, texture and if you really need to you can just crunch it and get rid of some tension. I also have stress balls. They sell many different kinds—different shapes and textures–give you something to take the stress out on and distract you at the same time.
Good luck and hope these help a little. You also said that most of the people that you work with are really young–I work with some of those also and a lot of times I just pretend that they are in elementary school—that way I don’t get quite as mad at them for being morons.
