Are you stressed? Try these quick tips for stress and start feeling better immediately!
- Get organized and learn to plan. When possible, take on projects one at a time and work on them until completed. If you can't do this, you may have too much on your plate.
- Recognize and accept limits. No one is perfect. Set achievable goals for yourself.
- Learn to play, and laugh! Find pastimes that are enjoyable and take time for yourself.
- Change your thinking. The things you tell yourself in your mind create stress in the body.
- Whenever your mind starts running away, say "STOP." Refocus your thoughts on positive, constructive ideas by taking a breath and calming down.
- Learn a method of relaxation.
- Remind yourself that other people or situations cannot make you "stressed." When something comes up you can choose to react in a stressful way, or choose to react in a calm way. Learning relaxation skills is helpful in achieving this.
