Handle Stress Question:

☛ Ask yourself what you can do about the sources of your stress. Think through the pros and cons. Take action where you can.
☛ Keep a positive, realistic attitude. Accept that although you can't control certain things, you're in charge of how you respond.
☛ Stand up for yourself in a polite way. Share your feelings, opinions, or beliefs, instead of becoming angry, defensive, or passive.
☛ Learn and practice relaxation techniques. Try breathing exercises, meditation, prayer, yoga, or tai chi.
☛ Exercise regularly. You'll feel better and be more prepared to handle problems.
☛ Eat healthy. Avoid too much sugar. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. When you're stressed, you'll probably want less-nutritious comfort foods, but if you overdo them, they'll add to your problems.
