My roommate is that chatty person in the office, my WiFi loves ghosting me, and my dog's chew toy of choice is our new rug — all reasons I'm seconds away from a work-from-home induced meltdown. After contemplating dramatically flipping my desk (a reaction inspired by my latest The Real Housewives binge), I reach for my stress ball instead. Some anxiety-relieving squeezes help me chill out as I remember the importance of mental health breaks. Not every day working from home looks like this, but when I'm on the verge of a stress headache, resetting with a colouring book, fidget spinner, or therapy dough helps. Keeping one of the following stress-relieving tools on your desk could be worth your while, too. Related: Looking to Combat Stress and Fatigue While Working From Home?
