- Get organized and learn to plan. Break down what you have to do into smaller chunks. Long to-do lists can be overwhelming.
- Recognize and set limits. It is ok to say "no".
- Set priorities. Take care of simple problems before tackling the complicated issues.
- Make reasonable goals and reach them. No one is perfect. Do not set goals that you have no chance of achieving.
- GET MOVING! Exercising strengthens your body's ability to handle the effects of stress by improving the function of your cardiovascular system, muscular function and flexibility. It also helps to relieve tension caused by stress.
Research shows that people who maintain an active lifestyle are better able to resist stressors and rebound after a stressful event.
