[F]ace rather than flee
"If you have a problem, face it rather than run away." Running away from your problems does not make them go away. Working through them in a constructive manner is the only way to put them to bed for good.[C]OPE ACTIVELY
There is no situation you can't do something about. "I deal with dying patients all the time," Dr. Speigel began. "I can't keep them from dying... I can't keep any of us from dying. But you can think a lot about how you are going to live in the face of death."[E]xpress Emotion
"Emotion is not your enemy, it is your friend. Your emotions are there to help you figure out what's important and what isn't. Your brain process more a lot more information than most computers and what keeps it manageable is our emotion system saying this matters and the rest doesn't. So when you think about emotion, use it to identify what matters."[S]ocial Support
"We are not independant individuals we are social creatures. We can handle stress a lot better when we do it together."SOME TIPS:---
. Make sure you take time to do what you love to do.
. Get to done with something that stressed or bothers you
. If it does not get done then there is a day tomorrow too
. Limit your daily information intake.
. Listen to yourself
. ASK for help
