How do you handle tension while your working within a busy working environment?

Even when we're super busy at work, I try to give myself little breaks from the work, to help keep me from feeling overwhelmed. Even if my "break" is just to take a walk to the restroom (at the opposite end of our floor), that can often be enough to let me relax a little bit, and mentally prepare myself to get back to work.

i just have a simple answer to this one. Just always have a positive outlook and dont let yourself be affected by the tension people are having around you. Dont put too much pressure on your shoulder. Do you know the stress ball? it helps somehow... lol
