For people under tension or stress, an ordinary work load can sometimes seem unbearable. The best way to cope with this feeling of being overwhelmed is to take one task at a time. Pick one urgent task and work on it. Once you accomplish that task, choose the next one. It will motivate you to keep going.
Regular exercise is a popular way to relieve stress.
Twenty to thirty minutes of physical activity benefits both the body and the mind. Whether it's gardening or painting, schedule time to indulge your interest. Good nutrition makes a difference. A phone call to a friend lets you know that you are not the only one having a bad day, dealing with a sick child, or working in a busy office. Stay in touch with friends and family.
