Being underprepared is the worst feeling. Spend a few minutes making a plan for the day and tidying up before you leave to make sure everything is ready for the next day. Knowing that you are in charge of the situation suggests that you won’t worry as much about work at night. When you wake up the next morning, you’ll feel like you can handle the situation and are in control of it. This sets a good tone for the rest of the afternoon and will help you become more proficient. (You can even turn your regular beauty routine into a discipline that lowers your blood pressure.) According to a survey by the American Psychological Association (APA), more women than men (one out of every three) turn to comfort foods like desserts and snacks to decompress. It’s common for women to deprive themselves of their favorite foods in an effort to lose weight.
