How to stay calm when you’re stressed
August 16, 2026/
| There’s a lot to be stressed about at work right now: AI is changing the rules of the game, and no one has concrete answers for what’s coming next. Turbulent political storms are affecting businesses. Even the end-of-summer scramble has folks like working parents harried. And spoiler alert: Stress isn’t our friend at work. As Fast Company contributor Rebecca Johnson writes, “When stress rises, most people do not suddenly become someone different. They often become more intensely who they are or were rather than who they are working on becoming. Old habits, protective behaviors, and familiar patterns tend to reappear, sometimes before we even realize it is happening.” Johnson’s tips for staying calm include naming how you’re feeling and focusing on your sphere of control. Read on for more tips for keeping your cool, from how to trick your nervous system into feeling calmer to one behavior change that can rewire your brain chemistry to reduce cortisol.
