Keeping stress under control

Stress on the job can drain your energy and make you feel more tired. To help lower workplace stress:

• Take control. Make daily to-do lists and prioritize your tasks. Think about what you can ask someone else to do. See if there's anything that you can take off your list entirely.
• Talk it out. Share frustrations with a supportive co-worker, friend or family member.
• Relax. Try relaxation techniques, such as breathing slowly or imagining a calm place. Mindfulness and meditation apps might be helpful. Try a prenatal yoga class if your healthcare professional says it's OK.
