1 Avoid unnecessary stress
Learn how to say no Know your limits and stick to them Taking on more than you can handle is a sure fire recipe for stress.
Avoid people who stress you out limit the amount of time you spend with that person or end the relationship
entirely.
Take control of your environment If the evening news makes you anxious, turn the TV off. If traffics got you tense, take a longer but less -traveled route.
Avoid hot-button topics If you get upset over religion or politics, cross them off your conversation list.
Pare down your to-do list Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. If youve got too much on your plate, distinguish between the shoulds and the
musts.

2 Alter the situationExpress your feelings instead of bottling them up. If something or someone is bothering you, communicate your concerns in an
open and respectful way.
Be willing to compromise When you ask someone to change their behaviour, be willing to do the
same. If you both are willing to bend at least a little, youll have a good chance of
finding a happy middle ground.
Be more assertive Dont take a backseat in your own life. Deal with problems head on, doing your best to anticipate and prevent
them.
Manage your time better Poor time management can cause a lot of stress. When youre stretched too thin and running behind, its hard to stay calm
and focused. But if you plan ahead and make sure you dont overextendyourself, you can alter the amount of stress youre under.

3 Adapt to the stressorReframe problems.
Try to view stressful situations from a more positive perspective. Rather than fuming about a traffic jam, look at it as an opportunity to pauseand regroup, listen to your favourite radio station, or enjoy some alone time.
Look at the big picture Take perspective of the stressful situation. Ask yourself how important it will be in the long run. Will it matter in a
month? A year? Is it really worth getting upset over? If the answer is no,focus your time and energy elsewhere
Adjust your standards Perfectionism is a major source of avoidable stress. Stop setting yourself up for failure by demanding perfection. Set reasonable
standards for yourself and others, and learn to be okay with good enough.
Focus on the positive When stress is getting you down, take a moment to reflect on all the thingsyou appreciate in your life, including your own positive qualities and gifts.This simple strategy can help you keep things in perspective.

4 Accept the things you cant change Dont try to control the uncontrollable
Many things in life are beyond our control particularly the behaviour of other people. Rather than stressing out over them, focus on the things you can control such as the
way you choose to react to problems.
Look for the upside As the saying goes, What doesnt kill us makes us stronger. When facing major challenges, try to look at them as opportunities for personal growth.
Share your feelings. Talk to a trusted friend or make an appointment with a therapist. Expressing what youre going through can be very cathartic, even if theres nothing you
can do to alter the stressful situation.
Learn to forgive Accept the fact that we live in an imperfect world and that people make mistakes.
Let go of anger and resentments. Free yourself from negative energy by forgiving andmoving on.

5 Make time for fun and relaxation
Set aside relaxation time Include rest and relaxation in your daily schedule. Dont allow other obligations to encroach. This is your time to take
a break from all responsibilities and recharge your batteries.
Connect with others
Spend time with positive people who enhance your life. A strong support system will buffer you from the negative effects ofstress.
Do something you enjoy every day Make time for leisure activities that bring you joy, whether it be
stargazing, playing the piano, or working on your bike.
Keep your sense of humour This includes the ability to laugh at yourself. The act of laughing
helps your body fight stress in a number of ways.

6 Adopt a healthy lifestyleReduce caffeine and sugar The temporary "highs" caffeine and sugar provide often end in with a
crash in mood and energy. By reducing the amount of coffee, soft drinks, chocolate, and sugar
snacks in your diet, youll feel more relaxed and youll sleep better
Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs Self-medicating with alcohol or drugs may provide an easy escape from
stress, but the relief is only temporary. Dont avoid or mask the issue at hand; deal with problems head on and
with a clear mind.
Get enough sleep Adequate sleep fuels your mind, as well as your body.Feeling tired will increase your stress because it may cause you to think
irrationally .
