Stress Management Tips

Ways to Deal with Stress

At Home
- Speak up for yourself: let others know when you're feeling stressed
- Take action: try to find the best strategy to solve it
- Get organized: have a clean and tidy space to help maintain balance
- Create your own space: find a space where you can be alone
At Work
- Understand expectations: not knowing is stressful, so ask for clarification whenever you need it
- Avoid multitasking: multitasking reduces your effectiveness - only do one task at a time
- Minimize conflict: avoid controversial topics at work
- Get comfortable: adjust your work environment and clothing to make sure you're comfy
For Relationships
- Remove external stressors: communication is the best way to do this
- Get to the room of the problem: talking things through helps to alleviate added stress
- Save time for yourself: it's essential to dedicate quality time to yourself and things you enjoy
- Improve your communication skills: poor communication leads to stress - learn to communicate constructively and effectively
Quickly
- Take a walk: exercise of any kind can be an effective stress reliever
- Breathe deeply: taking a few deep breaths can help relieve stress
- Use aromatherapy: certain scents can decrease the levels of stress hormones in the body
- Get a hug from a loved one: hugging reduces blood pressure and stress hormones in the body, which helps you relax
