Most people acknowledge the big stresses in their lives. Acknowledge these tensions, so you will be able to act to solve them. Balance challenge with success. If you set goals for yourself that are too easily met, you'll miss out on feeling triumph after working hard to meet a challenge. On the other hand, goals set impossibly high lead to frustration and feelings of failure.

Pace yourself and schedule breaks during the day. On weekends, relax. Learn the value of vacations. Exercise to counter cortisol. These trigger an accelerated heart rate and other changes that scare us into a state of high alert.
