I worked in Silicon Valley for a decade. Here are 9 ways I managed stress and boosted productivity.
- Regina Grogan, a former Google consultant and current Zillennial technology executive, shares her tips for coping with high stress while also increasing productivity.
- Grogan uses the 'circle of control' method to reduce stress. If she can't control the outcome of something, she doesn't allow it to stress her.
- Some of Grogan's daily stress-reducing habits include cold plunges, meditation and gratitude lists for better mood.
- Grogan has learned to tune into her bodily awareness to create balance in her life and make decisions based on her own intuition.
- She tries to stay off her phone in the morning and instead meditates for 25 minutes to quiet her mind and reset from attention obsession.
- When Grogan feels anxious, she takes a walk without her phone to help mitigate the anxiety and remind herself that she can't control everything.
- She encourages small acts of kindness, like helping others or just letting someone in front of her in traffic, to redirect energy toward something positive.
- Grogan has seen the benefits of making a gratitude list as a reminder of how lucky she is and how much she has to be thankful for.
- Epsom salt baths and writing down worries before bed also help her relax and alleviate stress.
- These stress-reducing tips have helped Grogan achieve a productive and creative mindset at work, even in a highly stressful environment.
