You're not alone—anxiety and the workplace go hand in hand. Dealing with constant deadlines, unexpected demands, and daily responsibilities can create a cloud of strong feelings. The first time I ever felt anxiety in my life was at my first "big-girl job" out of college. You'd think I would've experienced an inkling of the feeling during my undergraduate experience, which was full of daunting tests and challenging professors, but I hadn't felt anything yet.
I was unpleasantly greeted by the rush of the feeling the moment I had to google "breathing exercises" at my desk to calm down the tight feeling in my chest and relax my nerves. I'll never forget that unsettling day. If only I would've had something to quickly reach for at my desk to relieve me. That's why I'm now committed to this good deed of creating a curated list of stress-relieving beauty products you can keep at the office and take with you anywhere.
