Hydration and stress
The link between water and stress reduction is well documented. All of our organs, including our brains, need water to function properly. If you’re dehydrated, your body isn’t running well — and that can further exacerbate the feelings of stress. Stress can cause dehydration, and dehydration can cause stress. It’s a vicious cycle!

Leaving work at work
Almost every single person I have ever provided therapy to manage their work induced stress have worked many more hours than their contracted ones and have spent many of hours of their leisure time completing work tasks. If this is the norm for you, I would advise you begin a gradual lessening of this habit – cold turkey is often too ambitious and not realistic in the long-term.
An example first step for this week ahead would be that you calculate how many hours you spend in your leisure time working, if this is three hours 4 evenings per week then lets go for two hours on these 4 evenings. This is up to you to decide what achievable, set the number and stick to it. Dr Debbie Smith
