Steps to reducing stress

• Eat a balanced diet, with plenty of hydration. Cut the caffeine and sugar!
• Exercise - even a short walk will clear your head and get the blood pumping.
  
• Learn to laugh - the world may not laugh with you, but you'll put what's bugging you in perspective
• "No" your limits! A useful little word.
• "I'm making a list, checking it twice ... " crossing tasks off a list gives a real sense of achievement
• Time out! Make room in your life for family, friends, hobbies, relaxation.
• Sign up for classes in yoga, tai chi, meditation.
  
• Do your best - then let go.
• Focus on one task at a time, not the whole enchilada. Rome wasn't build in a day and all that.
• Share the load - confide in a close friend, colleague, minister, family member.
• Find help - if stress is taking over your life, seek help from a doctor, psychologist, counselor.
