Inhaling the scent of lavender oil can help you ward off the emotions of fear, doubt & worry as well as feelings of anger & irritability.
When lavender is inhaled, serotonin - a "feel-good" neurotransmitter - is released in the brain, producing a calming influence in the body. Aroma of lavender oil puts people in a happy mood and leaves them feeling relaxed. Try adding a few drops of lavender to a diffuser and use it in your office or home.

Get some houseplants like rubber plant & bamboo palm. They act like air filters improving your home's air quality & reducing indoor air pollution.
Other houseplants which can help include peace lily, English ivy, areca palm, reed palm, dwarf date palm, mums, and gerbera daisies. Indoor plants together with the medium in which they are grown can reduce components of indoor air pollution, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as benzene, toluene, and xylene. The compounds are removed primarily by soil microorganisms and plants remove CO2, which is correlated with lower work performance. Plants also appear to reduce airborne microbes and increase humidity.

Squeezing a small ball is a very effective way to burn calories, work out your hands, strengthen your grip and relieve stress.
You can use a squeeze ball while you are watching TV, talking on the phone or anytime you are dormant. It is best to get a ball (a rubber ball or a tennis ball) that fits fully into the palm of your hand. Hold a squeeze ball in your right hand. Squeeze the ball as hard as you can, and then relax your hand. Repeat the exercise 10 times. Now use your left hand to exercise.
If you don't have a squeeze ball, just make and loosen a fist repetitively.
