Ways to deal with Stress
K e e p a p o s i ti v e Atti t u d e :
Sometimes the way we think about things can make all of the
difference. Your attitude can help offset difficult situations. “Life
is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

A healthful, balanced diet containing plenty of fruit and vegetables
can help maintain the immune system at times of stress. A poor diet
can lead to ill health and additional stress.

R e g u l a r E xe r c i s e :
A 2018 systematic review of animal studies found that exercise
can reduce memory impairment in subjects with stress,
although studies on humans are necessary to confirm this.
Ta l k i n g :
Sharing feelings and concerns with family, friends, and work
colleagues may help a person “let off steam” and reduce feelings of
isolation. Other people may be able to suggest unexpected,
workable solutions to the stressor.

B e r e a l i s ti c :
Set practical goals for dealing with situations and solving problems.
Develop realistic expectation of yourself and others.

Rest and Sleep:

Our body needs time to recover from stressful events, so sleep
is an important part of caring for ourselves. Also taking short
break during our busy day schedule is good practice.
Priority Management:
Being unorganized or engaging in poor planning often leads to
frustration or crisis situations which causes Stress. So, one must
plan his time, make a schedule and establish priorities.

B r e a t h i n g a n d R e l a x a ti o n :
Meditation, massage, and yoga can help. Breathing and relaxation
techniques can slow down the heart rate and promote relaxation.

having hobbies, watching funny movie,
laughing with friends, etc. Laughter has
always been a great remedy of stress.
