Here are some effective stress management tips: Moment by moment we can always cope with life. Most stress comes from fretting about the past or worrying about the future. Someone once said to me 'By the yard life is hard, by the inch life's a cinch'. This had a profound effect on me. Just let go. Enjoy the moments, and the universe will look after you. Get enough sleep. This is nature's most powerful healer. Get eight, at absolute minimum, six hours, per night. If it's the late night movie versus some lovely, healing sleep I think you know the right answer! Exercise on a regular basis as part of your stress management regime. Do what you love. No point in 'dragging' yourself to the gym if you don't like it. Do things you enjoy and don't let that pest called anxiety spoil things for you. Chat with your uplifting friends. Listen to your favourite soothing music. Dance to your wildest music, Now that is fun stress management!
As I'm sure you know stress can easily lead to anger. Here are some highly effective anger management tips. Be true to yourself. A lot of stress comes fom trying to be what you are not. Things that other people would find marvelous might seem hateful to another. Don't get stressed trying to be wonder women! It's not just obvious things like being stuck in a traffic jam that cause stress. 'Nice' things can as well. So don't feel guilty or be pressurised into doing what you don't want... You will become more yourself and people love being around a 'real' person! Many get extremely stressed by Xmas. Starting early will avoid much Xmas stress If you smoke try and give up. I know, easier said than done! Many people find it easy to give up when they start meditating. A new meditator of about a month told me she suddenly realised she hadn't smoked all day (and she was a 'twenty per day' woman). She's still a 'twenty per day woman' except it's twenty minutes meditating! Chewing fennel seeds when you feel the urge to smoke can be a great help. They are certainly more slimming than cookies and chocolate! Maybe try herbal cigarettes as you are 'weaning yourself off'. At least try a milder brand. Keep alcohol intake to a minimum The 'positive' effects are short lived and you feel worse afterwards. This is partly because the body shuts down it's own 'happy chemicals' factory when you are 'under the influence' of drugs or alcohol. If you are prone to anxiety or sleeplessness, coffee (apart from decaff) is a stress management no no! It can send anxiety and stress levels through the roof. I know it's difficult but try giving it up for a while. Or at least cut down. Decaff isn't so bad. Honestly! When you wake up in the morning think of at least one thing you are really looking forward to. If there isn't anything, then invent something! I'm sure you don't need any suggestions from me!

In a sweet book I read years ago a man described how he stopped worrying by watching his wife washing dishes. (Yes, it was an old book!) Anyway he imagined how she would feel if instead of her just thinking about the dishes for that particular meal she was thinking of a lifetimes worth of dishes stacked up. Help! But this is what we sometimes do. Instead of focusing on the moment or the task in hand our imagination shoots ahead and sees horrific piles of stuff to be done. Try and stay in the moment and make sure you fit adequate breaks into your day. You will be so much more efficient afterwards. Generally, do not overeat and do eat lots of fruit and veg. Get plenty of fresh air. Breathe deeply.
