Have awareness.  Every customer that comes to shop has a problem- they aren’t stopping to say hello- so you're dealing with stressors all day long, even if you have gotten used to it. Implement stress-reducing activities daily- don’t wait until you are maxed out with stress to do something about it.  Oscillation- take regular breaks whether you feel you need them or not. It will help to refocus and re-energize.
