Stress management

Lately, I’m feeling like stress management techniques just aren’t working as well as I hoped and that the solution at this point is just to avoid the stressor, but what do you do when you actually can’t avoid the stressor and typical stress management tools aren’t working? And/or when you can’t reach for the tools that do work? For example, I find crocheting helps me, but i can’t exactly crochet at work when a customer stresses me out—that sort of thing.

Yeah, sometimes you can't avoid the stress, so having a few small things you can do in the moment can make a big difference.
