Quick Tips for Managing Stress

Recognize when youre 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 dont 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.
