33-48: Strain: You’re probably feeling overwhelmed or drained, and may be having some difficulties actually doing your work. Many people, once they reach this level of stress, fall into denial, feel helpless and begin to blame themselves. Try to stop believing self-criticisms like, “I’m stuck here and I can’t do anything about it” or “If I did a better job, was smarter or more competent, I wouldn’t be so stressed.” Do small things to take control of your work life. Say “no” to a project you don’t have time for, or ask to do something that’s more interesting to you. Leave work on time every day for a week, or leave the office for lunch for a whole hour. If you can’t do those things, at least take a brisk walk or turn off your phone for a while.
