Try to avoid people or activities you find annoying. Find time to relax each day. If you think you haven't got time, remember that you will do tasks more quickly and efficiently if you feel rested and less stressed. Don't feel guilty about taking time for yourself. Go for regular walks or do some other form of exercise you enjoy, such as Tai Chi.
Exercise is a great stress-reducer.
Eat healthy food. When you feel stressed it can be easy to skip meals and fill up with fatty snack foods, sweets and take-away foods. A diet that includes plenty of bread, rice, pasta and other grains, vegetables and fruit will help you cope better. Don't dwell on problems or failures you've had in the past, or worry about bad things that may happen in the future. Concentrate on living in the present.
