1.Structure each day to include a minimum of 20 minutes of aerobic exercise.
2.Eat well balanced meals, more whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables. Substitute fruits for desserts.
3.Avoid caffeine. The substance may aggravate anxiety, insomnia, nervousness and trembling.
4.Reduce refined sugars. Excess sugars cause frequent fluctuation in blood glucose levels, adding stress to the body's physiological functioning.
5.Reduce alcohol and drugs. These substances may add to headaches and swelling, decrease coping mechanisms and add to depression.
6.Get a least 7 hours of sleep nightly.
7.Spend time each day with at least one relaxation technique - imagery, daydreaming, prayer, yoga or meditation.
8.Take a warm bath or shower.
9.Go for a walk.
10.Get in touch! Hug someone, hold hands, or stroke a pet. Physical contact is a great way to relieve stress.
