Good stress or bad stress, it is something that we experience every day.

The good news….you can help prevent daily goings-on from causing undue stress.

Here are some things to do –  

•  Make certain to set realistic objectives both at work and at home.

•  Make certain to look at the large picture and put things into perspective.

•  Make a plan for dealing with the problem.

•  Manage tasks or projects by breaking into smaller more doable steps.

•  Do not “sweat the small stuff”.

•  When something isn’t important, try to not get upset over it.

•  Be sure to help yourself –

o  Think about a stress management class.

o  Consider a time management class.

•  Find activities you enjoy and take part in them on a regular basis.

•  Be physically active.

•  Make certain to maintain a positive outlook.

Change your thinking –

When you’re doing something new – think of it as an exciting opportunity

•  Task seems too hard – attempt a different tactic

•  Not enough time – reorder your priorities

•  Not enough resources – is not this a excellent time to get those creative juices flowing

Reward yourself for the good things you do each day
