There is no way to eliminate stress from our lives entirely, and small amounts are actually good for providing motivation and stimulating creativity. To make sure stress doesn’t take control of your life and health, try to follow these tips:

• Make the time to do simple things you enjoy. This could be listening to your favourite music, reading a good book, phoning a friend or meeting them for lunch.

• Spend time with people who make you laugh, and watch comedies.

• Make sure you get enough sleep. If you are chronically tired, every difficulty will be harder to cope with.

• Exercise. It is impossible to be thinking about your problems if you are flat out exercising.

• If something is bothering you, talk about it to a friend or family member you trust.

• Take a holiday each year. You don’t have to go far; just a change in scenery and routine can do wonders for restoring motivation.

• Find something in life you are passionate about and be involved in it regularly. Life has so many things to offer, there is never a reason to feel bored.

• Remember to be grateful for all the wonderful people and things in your life.

• Having a regular massage is a great way to release tension from your body.

• Learn meditation, yoga or Tai Chi. Stress management techniques like this can reduce your risk of heart disease by 50 percent.

• Breath slowly and deeply. Often when we are stressed we take shallow breaths or hold our breath for short periods of time.
