While positive stress will, amongst other things, boost our creativity, efficiency and concentration, negative stress will, on the contrary, impact our abilities and become counter-productive.

To avoid tipping over into negative stress, it's useful to develop strategies to keep it at a positive level for us. Here are five practical tips:


  1. Listen to your body and mind : Be aware of your physical and emotional state, your levels of exhaustion and your ability to cope with challenges. Awareness of early signs of tension and negative stress enables you to act before it becomes overwhelming.
  2. Take breaks and relax: Make time to take regular breaks during the day to recharge your batteries. If it helps you, block the time in your calendar. Take the opportunity to breathe deeply to relax your body, release any tension, calm your mind and refocus.
  3. Cultivate a positive outlook : Adopt a positive attitude to challenges and stressful situations. Try to see them as opportunities for personal growth and development. Mental resilience can help you maintain a constructive frame of mind.
  4. Set clear limits : Learn to say no when necessary to avoid overloading yourself, and protect your energy by setting healthy boundaries in your professional and personal life. This will help you maintain balance in your life.
  5. Do things that give you pleasure : Make time for activities that bring you pleasure and relaxation, such as sport, reading, cooking or creative hobbies. Taking care of yourself on a regular basis helps to reduce stress and maintain your well-being.
