Stress Tips (Page 2)
Sometimes
stress isn't caused so much by an event but by our attitude towards it.
People who see difficult situations as challenges to overcome, rather
than problems that get them down, usually cope better with stress.
Don't make small problems seem bigger than they are. When something goes
wrong, ask yourself: "In ten years' time, will this matter?"
Try to avoid stressful situations by better planning - give yourself
more time to do things so you're not always rushing around. Try to avoid
people or activities you find annoying.
Find time to relax each day. If you think you haven't got time, remember
that you will do tasks more quickly and efficiently if you feel rested
and less stressed. Ways to relax include: spending time alone in a quiet
place, focusing on something pleasant - soothing music, a book or
magazine, a pet - or even having a long bath. Don't feel guilty about
taking time for yourself.
Go for regular walks or do some other form of exercise you enjoy, such
as Tai Chi. Exercise is a great stress-reducer.
