Learn to say no – both on a professional and personal level. You should never take on more than you can handle. Cut down your to-do list – Analyse your schedule and prioritise your tasks by level of urgency. Limit the time you spend with people who stress you out – If someone causes stress in your life, limit the amount of time you spend with them and be more aware of your reaction to them.
Take control of the situation – Identify how you can limit stress in a particular situation e.g., if shopping makes you stressed do your shopping at a less busy time or make a list.
