Stress Management Guidelines
The American Heart Association suggests 4 ways to manage stress:
- Positive Self-talk
Transition from negative self-talk to positive self-talk. Instead of a "can't do" attitude, have a "can do" attitude.
- Emergency Stress Stoppers
"Stress stoppers help you deal with stress on the spot."
- Finding Pleasure
Do things that you enjoy! Whether it's watching TV, listening to music, or going for a long walk, do something that you like to help relieve stress.
- Daily Relaxation
Remember to practice relaxation, e.g. yoga, meditation. Studies show that relaxation techniques can help relieve stress.
