Tips for working women to cope with stress

Are you a working woman? Do you frequently feel stressed and yell at your children or partner? Are you trying to gain perfect balance between home and the world?

We all experience work-related stress. The pressure of deadlines, manager’s expectations and our own ambition keeps us on our toes. But a working woman juggles between her professional commitments and familial responsibilities. The expectations from her are double – to nurture her home and give her best at the workplace. Even a slight unbalance between the two can be stressful for her, which might lead to marital discord, poor baby care, absenteeism or unpleasant experiences at work; and poor self- care.

Stress accumulated over a long period can lead to unhealthy lifestyle, poor nutrition, anxiety, depression, and physical health problems. Here are some self-care tips to gain the much-needed psychological nourishment and motivation to do better.
