TIPS TO MANAGE STRESS IN LIFE

 A few tips to manage stress in life:

      drink plenty of water every day (hydrate the body)

      Drink at least 2 litres of water every day.  It is must be water and not coffee, or tea.

      breathe correctly

      sit adequately

      Do not slouch.  The body functions more efficiently being erect.  Slouch position brings along a poor attitude.

       exercise

      One easiest way of exercising is walking.  Walk around the block; walk with friends, etc.

      About every twenty minutes do some stretching in your chair to improve the blood circulation, especially the arms and legs.

      think positively

      have faith

      organize your work and your life (this includes financially too)

      Make much defined separation between work and home.  Enjoy life at home and start your evening with a different perspective completely disconnected from work.

      get enough rest

      It is importance to replenish the energy level for another day of activity.  It is necessary to get the right amount of sleep.  Do not cut short your sleeping hours.  A nap during the day is very recommendable.  A nap should not take more than a few minutes.  Extended naps will create a depressing and tiring feeling.

      get some solitude and

      talk to others
