Take an extra step and ask yourself for an answer to what your body and mind are telling you. Do something about it. When you listen and act, your body and mind will continue communicating to you. When you do not listen or act, your body and mind will scream louder.

2. Become active. Activity on many levels allows for a healthier mind and body because gets you out of the state that you are currently in. If you sit around a lot, get up. If youre up, start walking. If youre walking, start some mild aerobic action.

Its the same thing with nutrition. If youre eating donuts all day, eat a fresh piece of fruit. If youre eating canned, boxed, microwaved food, have a fresh salad.

And finally, the same thing goes for emotions. If youre watching the 10:00 nightly bad news, stop and read a good book. If youre always talking bad to yourself, stop and say something nice to yourself.

Discover for yourself new interests and ideas. Meet new people and engage in meaningful conversation.

There are many things to do to help yourself deal with different kinds of stress. It takes time, ingenuity and perseverance. But, what are your options?
