Don't do these: Unhealthy ways to deal with stress: 1) smoking, 2) drinking excessive alcohol; 3) zoning out for hours a day with tv or computer; 4) withdrawing from friends, family and activities; 5) avoiding exercise; 6) sleeping too much; 7) procrastinating; 8) taking out your stress on others (e.g. Lashing out at others verbally or with physical violence); 9) depending on pills to relax.

Mind body: I recommend many mind-body techniques to help cope-meditation, yoga, exercise, guided imagery, self hypnosis etc. Get good sleep, eat a balanced diet. Reduce sources of stress where you can. Seek support from friends, family or health professional. Do something you enjoy just for fun.
