EXERCISE
The last suggestion that I have is that you should exercise. This goes back to the logic behind stress – it is a fight or flight response that introduces chemicals to the body that help you respond more effectively. We are supposed to use these chemicals up and not let them remain in our systems. Unfortunately, most people’s response today to stressful situations does not require any physical exertion.

REST AND RELAXATION

Your body needs time to heal and recover from your stressful situations. You need to take a break from the stressful lifestyle and do something, or even physically do nothing, that will help you recoup.
