You can help prevent stress in your life by saying NO. Practice saying NO and Say Yes only when its to something important to you. When you set a goal, make sure it is doable. Do not set an impossible goal.
Plan ahead. If it is a situation that is stressful for you, plan how to handle it or how to work around it. And get support – – reach out to people who understand your stress and can help you feel better.
When you do feel stress- take a little 10 minute time out. Breath full deep breaths for a count of five then let go of the breath slowly.
Here’s to less stress – and understanding how best to manage it.
