It is important to know that we all experience stress in our lives. Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life.
Some stress is good, and is healthy.
Look for and emphasize the positives in every experience. For example, a change in health status may allow you to change your priorities in life. Take advantage of days when you are feeling particularly vital and strong, and remember that some days are going to be better than others. FIND a physical activity that you enjoy. For example, a nice walk can help clear your mind, and enhance your general sense of well being.
