Set limits with emotional vampires. Emotional vampires are people who sap your energy and leave you feeling fatigued, agitated or craving comfort food.
Stay in the "now." When you feel yourself being overwhelmed by responsibilities, deadlines and pressures, stay focused on the positive changes you can make and the practical steps you can take today.
Use humor to counter frustration. Searching for humor in a situation immediately counteracts stress.
Evaluate the anxiety. Thoughtfully consider if a real threat exists or if you're blowing things out of proportion.
Change your stress chemistry. 5-HTP is a plant extract that converts into serotonin in the brain, gently reducing anxiety and improving sleep.
Express gratitude. One of the quickest ways to defuse stress is to take a breath and make a mental list of five things for which you are grateful.
