- consciously teach yourself to relax, and practice relaxation as soon as you feel stressed.
- pay attention to what you eat and drink.
- a warm shower or bath can help our muscles to relax, and can help ease the tension in our body and mind.
- talking with someone who accepts us as we are – and is nonjudgmental – is highly therapeutic.
- recognize that there are things that are outside our control – and there are some situations that we simply cannot change.
- reward and indulge yourself with things that you enjoy so you feel respected and valued as a person. (for example, buy some clothes you love, or get your hair and nails done)
- make an effort to establish and maintain a work/ life balance. you need to make time for your hobbies, and to hang out with your friends.
- organize your time, and prioritize your tasks. you’ll feel a lot less anxious if you get things done on time.
- recognize that you have limits and enforce your boundaries. if you live with too much pressure you will end up overwhelmed.
- keep a sense of humour – smile and laugh throughout the day.
