This question is very timely, I'm a tennis fan, and the US Open is currently happening here in NY, and I think of Billie Jean King's famous quote: "Pressure is a Privilege".
While I agree to an extent, I think it's important to manage the stress that presents itself as part of our everyday pressures and privileges.
Talk to people, write down what you're feeling in that moment and then come back to it later and see if it is still valid or if your feelings, thoughts have changed.

@gabe_moronta thank you for recommendations, Gabe! And enjoy US Open 😉
well, i have a cup of coffee and take myself out of the room for a few minutes, take a few deep breaths and then i get back to tackle my stress point.
I am writing things down. Sometimes I get easily stressed by tasks. But when I write that out. I can easily figure out how to dealing with it.

Relaxing music is quite helpful!
Taking a break.
I find doing some stretches at home does wonders. Personal recommendation is Shona Vertue. Likewise I have a smart watch which tells me when my stress is a little too high and to take a breather...at which point I'll go for a walk!

@maria_kono Intersting! Just curious, do you use specific smart watch app?

My ways of relieving stress are completely different. 🤪 When I'm nervous, I like to be alone and vent in silence. Sometimes it’s an hour, sometimes more. I don't like to project it on others, and I don't like it when someone forces me to cheer up.
P.S. and coffee ☕️ helps a lot! 😃

@vitaligisko All of us *coffee lovers* know very well that it's not good for our health but I also don't plan to give up on her. At least not for now. :))
Btw, I forgot to mention one more very important thing: I am very much in love with the gym, so training also helps me a lot to relieve stress.

@gordana_laskovic Thank you Gordana! I'm a strong coffee lover but I feel doubts that it helps for a strep relief, I heard it opposite, it increases stress level.
- Getting enough sleep
-Having some refreshing morning routine
-Taking short breaks while working
-Keeping mood light with good books/shows

@soumya_chaturvedi Thanks for sharing! Could you please share you Top1 morning routine activity? Mine is go for a short walk straightly after wakeup. No phone / calls / mail check . Just me, morning and cup of coffee)
It depends on the specific situation in my case. Sometimes glass of water, sometimes physical activity.
As an extrovert, I like to share my thoughts and emotions with others, so in most cases short discussion with anyone around me helps me :)

@karolina3 yeah! sometimes just a short talk with someone helps a lot, absolutely agree
"Tech-free" walks. Whenever I feel stressed, I'll keep mobile at desk and go for a walk.
It's cool when people talk about it!
In the morning I prefer to be alone. In the afternoon, when I feel tired, I get up from my chair and go to another room, drink water, look out the window. And in the evening a walk is like a balm for the soul!

@julia_zakharova2 Thank you for your reply, Julia! "leave me alone" mode for mornings works perfectly for me as well! truly enjoy those silent 30 mins in the morning when no one can disturb you
Yoga can be an excellent choice, but any form of physical activity is beneficial.

Conversations. Tasks. People.
Take time to recharge.
Desk fidgets! I keep stress balls, tangles and a mini desktop tether all game nearby to fidget with to reduce my stress. Simple and fun.
