Evaluate your stress: Look at the things in your environment that feel stressful to you and make a decision about whether or not you can change them. Then look at the skills you already have to cope with your stress and see where you can improve. Talk to a counselor about relaxation exercises you may do. Getting adequate rest, proper nutrition and exercise are also helpful.
