Stress Relievers You Should Have In Your Office

A person’s workspace can become one of the most intense places to be; hours of sitting, intense pressure and a fair share of stress. To create a more calming and conducive workplace environment, we have compiled a list of things you should have in your office as stress relievers. We have all five senses covered.

Sight

Photos of friends/family

Seeing the ones dear to you will definitely have an impact on your mood when you step into the office. If you’re looking for a frame to go along with it, try Woodpost!

Woodpost

The brand’s presence mainly lies in Vietnam, but is easily accessible to all through their app. Like its namesake, Woodpost crafts all of their rubber wood products from the rubber trees that are no longer available to produce sap. This means that rubber wood is repurposed into an important, eco-friendly piece for your office desk.

Succulents

Popularity of succulents are rising recently, as they require little effort to maintain. Succulents are also suitable in low-light office environments. Like any plant, the right amount of sunlight and water will preserve this plant for an extended period of time.

Sound

Your Favourite Tunes

Meditation apps

Calm is a mindfulness meditation app that helps users relieve stress. It may sound a little strange, but the app sooths the mind through natural sound with that effect; examples include sounds of the pouring rain, waves on a beach, fireplace, and moving streams.

Smell

Essential oils

Aromatherapy is the obvious choice to using smells for stress relief. Add a few drops of the oil into a cup of hot water and take a deep breath. Lavender and chamomile scents are two of the many essential oils with relaxing properties.
