Use a check list so you will receive satisfaction as you check off each job as it is done. Watch your diet - Alcohol, caffeine, sugar, fats and tobacco all put a strain on your body's ability to cope with stress. Contact your local branch of the Heart and Stroke Foundation for further information about healthy eating. Get enough rest and sleep. Talk with friends, professional counsellors, support groups or relatives about what is bothering you.
Volunteer work can be an effective and satisfying stress reducer.
Get away for awhile - Read a book, watch a movie, play a game, listen to music or go on vacation. Leave yourself some time that's just for you. Work off your anger - Get physically active, dig in the garden, start a project, get your spring cleaning done. Give in occasionally - Avoid quarrels whenever possible. Don't try to do too much at once.
