* Avoid things that cause stress, as much as you can.
* Do something that you enjoy and look forward to doing.
* Develop a positive attitude.
* Relax with deep breathing, soothing music, or quiet time. Take a warm shower or bath.
* Exercise every day. Walk or do another aerobic activity. Do stretching and strengthening exercises, too.
* Share your feelings and frustrations with a good listener.
* Solve problems that you can. Learn to accept or tolerate things that you cannot change or control.
