Is Stress Getting the Best of You?

Stress in life is inevitable, whether you end a relationship, lose a job, face serious health problems or just have too many responsibilities to juggle. Stress is a physical and emotional reaction and can harm your health if it is prolonged. But there are ways to manage it:

• Think positively and put things into perspective. A situation may seem less daunting once you give it some thought
• Set priorities and pace yourself; ask for help when appropriate and schedule "me" time
• Relax using deep-breathing techniques. Inhale slowly through your nose, hold your breath a few seconds and exhale through your mouth
• Talk about it. Chances are that some of your friends and family have had to cope with similar problems and can offer solutions
