I suggest not only saying what you are doing each day, but also roughly describe what problems you were facing today, since it is mostly the problems that are mentally draining. "I had to fix a bug in a layout" sounds less exhausting than "my data just didn't display correctly and I had no idea why. So I had to comb my whole project to find out where it went wrong". — Cashbee 14 secs ago

Quote from the question: "But it's easy for you to do xyz because you're good at them". Not that I disagree with your idea but what makes you think they'll respond differently here? — Imus 53 secs ago

@BrootsWaymb I certainly agree, and is what I meant. I added the text so it's not just implied :) Thanks! — Jess K. 17 secs ago

@Fitzy physical exercise increases levels of BDNF, which actually helps the brain work better (reducing stress/anxiety and improving learning/mood)... So, I agree - the focus should be more on stopping negative comments (which do seem to be causing the stress) than avoiding the physical exertion itself. — CPHPython 15 secs ago
