Quick Tips for Managing Stress

• Recognize when you’re stressed. Physical signs include neck or back pain, trouble sleeping, muscle tension, and shortness of breath.
• Learn how to relax. Take a few slow, deep breaths, go for a 10-minute walk, or listen to soothing music.
• Concentrate on the things you can control. Ask yourself, “Is there anything I can do to change this situation?” If the answer is no, try to let it go.
• Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep and exercise, eat healthy foods, and be sure to drink water throughout the day.
• Make time for activities you enjoy. Spend time with friends or family, read a book, or try a new hobby.
• Laugh often. Watch a funny movie, share jokes with friends, and look for the humor in everyday life.
• Get organized at home. File old paperwork and get rid of things you don’t need anymore.
• Simplify your life. Learn to say no to activities that will overload your schedule.
• Have a positive outlook. Focus on the part of your life that feels good and avoid wasting anger or negative energy on trivial things.
 Seek expert help if you need it. If stress starts to overwhelm you or lasts for an extended time, seek expert help.
