STRESS

Look around
See if there really is something you can change or control in the situation
      

Remove yourself from the stressful situation Give yourself a break if only for a few moments daily

Don't sweat the small stuff
Try to prioritize a few truly important things and let the rest slide

Selectively change the way you react,
but not too much at one time. Focus on one troublesome thing and manage your reactions to it/him/her


Avoid extreme reactions;
Why hate when a little dislike will do? Why generate anxiety when you can be nervous? Why rage when anger will do the job? Why be depressed when you can just be sad?


Get enough sleep
Lack of rest just aggravates stress

Avoid self-medication or escape
Alcohol and drugs can mask stress. They don't help deal with the problems
