Also, diffuse stress by taking time out every day to relax. Then try to relax your muscles and parts of the body one at a time. Begin with your toes and work upward, when you are totally relaxed, continue sitting quietly for about five minutes. If you detest waiting in line or getting stuck in traffic, try carrying along a book or listen to Torah-tapes to help pass the time. But regular workouts can give you more energy to get things done.
Good nutrition is an excellent defense against stress.
Here are some guidelines to organize your life to help reduce the daily stresses. Learn to say no to excessive overload. Don't try to do everything yourself. Not every task needs to be done today. Try to cut out all the no-nos such as smoking, alcohol abuse and junk food.
