Some tips: 1) learn to say 'no' 2) avoid people who stress you out 3) be more assertive 4) express your feelings instead of bottling them up 5) exercise often 6) take control of your environment--e.g. If watching cnn make your anxious, turn it off 7) learn how to manage your time--being chronically late and/or behind on projects causes stress. 8) don't be perfectionistic.
