Exercise: The way stress gets to you is by a chemical called epinephrine.If you exercise you burn up the excess and this should help you cope.Of course the best answer is to avoid the "lot of stress".

Good self care.: To address stress: talk about feelings ; address problems. Don't avoid them. Aim for 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep/ night. Daily physical activity is optimal in a green space. Eat healthfully. Cut out junk carbs, caffeine ; alcohol (or moderate). Try qi gong, tai chi, acupuncture, acupressure, homeopathy, meditation, yoga, exercise program, deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation.
