Take up a 'slow hobby'

Although all hobbies are good for relieving stress 'slow hobbies' (anything you enjoy that requires mindful, solitary attention) are especially effective at breaking up the hectic cycle of speed and stress. Slow hobbies are things like knitting, painting, sculpting, crossword puzzles, etc. Instead of gabbing at the water cooler spend your daily breaks sitting outside working on your hobby.
