If you're overwhelmed, tackle the simplest tasks first, and then proceed with some confidence and momentum to the bigger issues. Laughter is the best stress medicine. Sometimes a good laugh is the only sane response to an increasingly frustrating set of circumstances. Laughter releases endorphins, which are a natural weapon against stress. Walk it off.
Exercise helps the body process stress.
It also works as a great preemptive strike against tension and panic. Get up-close and personal. Intimacy and sex weld incredible powers against stress. Meanwhile, tension and overwork can drive a wedge between you and your loved ones. But if you make it a point to push that wedge aside and get close, things will improve at home and the office.
