Tips for avoiding a psychologically toxic work environment include developing and maintaining strong connections with coworkers, keeping track of one's accomplishments, looking ahead toward challenges and opportunities rather than getting stuck in the current difficulties, taking breaks when needed to reduce stressors and recharge, engaging in physical activity on breaks such as walking or stretching to reduce negative thoughts. Additionally, seek positive roles models within the organization by connecting with higher-level executives or senior managers to build your emotional resilience. Finally ensure you have a safe exit strategy by creating an emergency plan so you can leave the situation if it becomes too difficult to manage safely.
