Anyone else experience insane amounts of stress at work that leaves them feeling keyed up all day? I had that experience today because we were short like 4 staff members, and i had to be like three people at once and was running around the center all day doing a major juggling act.

Any strategies u guys have found cor helping yourselves through intense stress and pressure? When im so busy its hard for my brain to even think, so its hard to think about deep breathing or grounding or any other mental technique. Saturdays are our BIGGEST day so this tends to be a trend on saturdays. ..... Could use your advice

I suggest keeping hydrated, and during the week, consider any and all options to making the plan of action easier, smoother, so the juggling, running, and the stress are less where possible.
Face the feeling of anxiety, stress, and decide what you're comfortable with to help you find what can work in the moment. I have found that when I prepared ahead for the stress of the workload pressure like you mention, just the thought of the plan was enough to soothe the irritated stress area.
Hope this helps, and best wishes!
