"Stress": "stress" is what you feel when you need to handle more than what you're used to. The only way you can "do away" with it is to avoid growth, learning, and change -- leading to a very limited, boring life! your alternative is to increase your resilience. This you can do through exercise, meditation, and practices like yoga which keep you in present-moment awareness. Breathing exercises help too.

Agree w Dr. Pappas: 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.
