How can I avoid unnecessary stress?

• Stop trying to do more than one thing at a time.
• Take regular exercise.
• Find time to relax each day – there is always time.
• Eat a balanced diet and eat slowly.
• Walk, talk and move at a slower pace.
• Smile.
• Find ways to escape from everyday pressures (for example, by reading, having pastimes, playing sports and so on).
• Make sure you get enough rest. Try to wind down physically and mentally before you go to sleep.
• Try to avoid getting impatient. Very few things are that important.
• If you get angry, try to get it out of your system in a constructive way.
• Try to do things that you enjoy.
• Spend at least 10 minutes each day alone.
• If you feel stressed, try to talk to someone.
• Get support and try not to become isolated.
