A lot is expected of you in your lives as you transition from college to the life of a young working professional. You will have to pack a lot into your daily routine and that can take its toll on your mental health. Not only will a stressful life lower your efficiency, it will also prevent you from leading a healthy and happy life.

It is hard to lead a completely stress-free life, and simple resilience at the workplace may not be enough. You have to not only take steps to make sure to minimize stress but also develop skills that will teach you how to reduce stress at work.

Keeping that in mind, here are a few tips to stay stress-free, relatively speaking:

1. Eating Healthy

If you are serious about reducing stress, you have to get into the habit of eating healthy. Often due to stress and long work hours, you may be tempted to eat unhealthy food. It is normal to want to treat yourself once in a while, but you have to see to it that your overall eating habits are healthy.

2. Start Following a Routine

Following a routine will have a two-fold effect on you. You will be able to organize work and complete it on time. The better you manage your time, the more free time you will have. You can then use the free time for entertainment and relaxation, which will help you feel less stressed.

3. Prioritize Things

When you feel burdened with work from office and work at home, the only way to deal with the clutter and stress is to prioritize. By putting things in order of importance, you can make smart choices about how and how much time to spend on your work.

4. Avoid Delays

You may not want to do things when they are pending, but putting things off for a later time adds to your long-term stress. So, by facing the workload head-on and in a timely fashion, you are not only accomplishing tasks at hand, you are also protecting yourself from additional stress.

5. Increasing Focus

To be able to successfully handle and reduce stress, you have to avoid distractions like your mobile phone, and the temptation to watch videos etc. This will lead to better focus, and your output will be much better thus, helping you achieve your goals.

6. Exercise

Unless you live a very active lifestyle, chances are, you are ignoring your physical health. Part of living a healthy and stress-free life is being physically active. You can choose to go for a run, join a gym or practice yoga too. Doing yoga and meditation will help you to be more mindful for stress reduction. You can also take an easy-to-follow course online that the Glow & Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair & Lovely Career Foundation) offers called Mindfulness and Resilience to Stress at Work (click here).

7. Take Time for Yourself

A change of pace can be very helpful when you are in a stressful environment. This means you should not hesitate to take time for yourself, be it relaxing with friends, taking a day off from work, taking a short trip outside the city or simply staying home and relaxing can do wonders to refresh your mind.

How To Set Up A Business Or Startup

Every entrepreneur's "dream" is, without a doubt, to run a successful business. Most of the time, it goes something like this in their minds: You will be very successful if you have an idea, start a business, get customers, and then grow quickly. But it's not usually that easy in real life. Building a business isn't easy and takes a lot of hard work. But it doesn't have to be impossible if you have a well-thought-out plan. Your business plan can put you on the road to success if you plan it carefully and carry it out well. The key is to think things through and build something on a solid base that won't fall apart when bad things happen. Every business needs a solid base to stand on. It's essential to have many of these things in place early on, like your website, business plan, and online marketing. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 1. **Start with your passion:** The startup world is not for the weak of the heart; if you don't care about what you're doing, everyone will know it. If your main goal is to make money, everyone will know it. Passion doesn't guarantee success, but not having it makes it likely that you'll fail. <br /> <br /> 1. **Have a Realistic Plan:** Stretch goals are a great way to get people excited, but they usually can't be reached in the future. Instead, entrepreneurs would do better to have a business plan with reasonable and doable milestones. The milestones could be as easy as getting enough money, hiring the best people, and growing reasonably. These are goals that can get you where you want to go. <br /> <br /> 1. \*\*Solve a real problem with your product: \*\* Too many businesses fail because they tried to solve a problem they thought existed. Figure out what you'll be selling, who you'll be selling it to, and how you'll be selling it. Make sure the market for your product or service is big enough that you only need to sell to a small part of it to be successful. <br /> <br /> 1. **Build an inner circle:** Find ways to connect with people who are leaders in the field you want to be in and build a close group of people you trust. To help you make decisions, you'll need to have a lot of years of experience on speed dial. <br /> <br /> 1. **Have a business website and use social media:** If you want to reach your goal, you have to be online. Your website will connect you with customers who live thousands of miles away. <br /> <br /> 1. **Put together a strong team:** Make sure to find the right people with the skills your company needs right now. Make sure to add people in a smart way, and don't feel rushed to fill positions on time. Glow \& Lovely Careers (formerly known as Fair \& Lovely Career Foundation) provides great tips, courses and guidance.

Minal Bhosle, The Woman Who Created India's First COVID 19 Testing Kit

The fight against the Coronavirus has brought to the forefront healthcare workers and helpers who are risking their lives to help the nation. Many inspirational women are playing a critical role in pushing through the daily hardships and doing the best they can in the fight against the pandemic. One such person is Minal Dakhave Bhosle, Mylab Discovery Solution's research and development chief. If you're interested in the field of science and medicine, her story will inspire you to pursue a career in the field. Minal Bhosale and her team at Mylab created India's first coronavirus test kit. The kit was manufactured in a short time of just six weeks compared to the industry standard of three to four months. Yet the most remarkable thing about the creation of the kit is that it all happened while she was pregnant. On March 18, she submitted her testing kit for evaluation to the National Institute of Virology. The same evening, she also submitted the kit to the Indian FDA and the drugs control authority CDSCO for commercial approval, just an hour before she went to a hospital to deliver her baby! She is quoted saying, "If you carry out 10 tests on the same sample, all 10 results should be the same. And we achieved that. Our kit was perfect." Minal and her team had only begun work on the testing kit in February after she left the hospital with a pregnancy complication. "It was an emergency, so I took this on as a challenge. I have to serve my nation," she said, also mentioning that her team, which consisted of 10 members, worked tirelessly to ensure a quick turnaround. Women like Minal are an excellent example of successful women in India who are driven and do not sit on their past success. During the 2009 outbreak of the Swine Flu disease, Minal was also part of the team working on a vaccine for the disease at NIV, Pune. Her efforts show us that women in science and technology in the country are carrying out some of the most pioneering work. Every kit manufactured by Mylab is capable of testing 100 samples at a cost of only Rupees 1,200. This is almost a quarter of the Rupees 4,500 India was paying to import COVID 19 testing from overseas. Minal and her team also made sure that the test diagnosis was available much quicker. The kit gives a diagnosis in two and a half hours compared to imported testing kits, which take up to seven hours. Women warriors like Minal are the flag bearers for working women who are ambitious and fearless. She is an excellent example of selfless dedication and shows us that it is possible to successfully achieve our goals even when the odds may be against us. Like her, you too can create a path for yourself in the field of science and who knows, maybe someday your name shall be etched in history.
