4 Ways to Reduce Stress While on a Business Trip

Traveling itself can be extremely stressful, the experience always seems so much better in retrospect, don’t you agree? But traveling for business can be even more aggravating. When you are out on the road for business purposes, there is pressure, both internal and external to be the best we can be, except you have to do this without the luxuries and comforts that allow you to be on your A-game when you’re back home. This pressure can build up tension and stress in your mind and body, which could leave you feeling overwhelmed.

Being a seasoned company in the travel industry, our Connecticut Limo Service has gathered several stress-reduction approaches for travelers over the years. Here are 4 of our most favorite.

 

Pack Light

Even the shortest business trip can turn out to be a stressful affair, but it can be ten times worse if you have to drag around a heavy suitcase, or worse even lose the luggage. For the purposes of easing your movement and minimizing the potential for a disastrous situation, pack light and fit all your essentials into a carry-on. This will minimize the amount of luggage you have to keep track of during your trip and simultaneously reduce the load you have to carry.

Tip: Choose clothes of a similar color, so you only have to carry one matching suit jacket and one pair of shoes.

 

Exercise

You may feel that there is no time to exercise on a business trip, but exercise doesn’t always have to mean hitting up the gym, a short walk, swimming, a few minutes of jogging, a couple of pushups, and even yoga could release endorphins, which are ‘feel-good’ hormones produced in the brain. So take advantage of that gorgeous hotel pool, hit the fitness center for a few minutes if there is one; starting the day off with one form of exercise or another will leave you feeling happier, healthier, energized, and with a positive mindset to tackle any challenges that come your way.

 

Get Enough Sleep

When we’re on the road we feel that we’re losing too much time and falling behind on our work, which makes us want to do more and to do more, we cut down on our sleep. This is a big mistake; working late hours may not be the best strategy if you want to be effective and efficient in your tasks. A sleep-deprived mind is irritable and slow, and you may not even be covering as much ground in your work as you think. Do not overlook the importance of sleep; get a full six hours of sleep, wake up fresh and be as productive as you can be throughout the day. This way you’ll be faster, more effective, more efficient, and most importantly, less stressed out.
