Take It Easy: 12 Ways to Kill Stress Before Stress Kills You!

The only way to minimize the negative effects of stress is to minimize the stress itself. You can develop practices and a mindset that dissipate and reduce the inevitable stress of life itself.

For example:

Make quiet time: Whether you meditate daily or just spend an hour a night with a book, you need to create a space where you can clear your mind.

Eat better: A good diet can help your body better deal with the effects of stress.

Make family time: Try to eat at least one meal a day with your family (or with friends if you’

re single).

Talk it out: Bottling up your frustrations, even the little ones, leads to stress.

Prioritize: Figure out what in your life actually needs attention and what doesn’

t.

Accept interruptions gracefully: become so rigid that you can’t function if you’

re interrupted.

Pay attention to yourself: Notice when you feel stressed, and determine the cause.

Love: Build relationships. Share yourself. Feel human warmth.
