Multiple ways: There are multiple ways to deal with stress -- and carefully reviewing what you're dealing with is an important part of it. With this close look, there may be some aspects you can modify. You can also use breathing exercises, meditation practices, yoga; tai chi; aerobic workouts; other expressive arts, etc. Eat healthy food, get consistent sleep; can also get help from therapists.

Breath it away.: I agree w dr. Pappas. She really covered the issue overall. I will provider one technique for deep breathing. Inhale slowly through your nose. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a five count. Exhale slowly through an open mouth. Repeat x at least 12. Focus on breathing - not on problems or symptoms.
