I recently had a stressful job last year in an environment where I had no control: COVID plus military deployment. My blood pressure dropped 40 points once I left that job. Here are things that helped me and my staff:
* See a mental health professional
* Exercise
* Eat healthy (I was failing here and stress eating thereby making things worse)
* Social reinforcement. Have friends offline to talk things through
* Spend time on things of interest and be productive
