If learning to manage stress is your primary goal, try anticipating stressful situations and planning in advance how you can deal with them in less stressful ways. Set priorities and get your family and friends to help you accomplish essential tasks. Try letting go of the need to be perfect and eliminate tasks that are unnecessary. Set aside some time to relax each day, even if it's only 15 minutes. If your goal is to lose weight, you need to know that there is more to it than dieting.
Exercise is a key component of any weight loss program.
Find an activity that you like and can incorporate into your regular routine. For many people, walking is the easiest exercise program to stick with. All content on this site is copyrighted by Presbyterian Healthcare Services.
