Beat Stress: Reading minds is very hard. Misunderstandings will be plentiful if you try to do it. So communicate instead, to avoid stress.

Beat Stress: When you’re stressed, limit your caffeine and alcohol intake, as these can actually make you feel worse and more anxious in the long run.

Beat Stress: Accept that you cannot control everything. Try putting your stress in perspective: is it really as bad as you think?

Beat Stress: Volunteer or find another way to be active in your community, which creates a support network and gives you a break from everyday stress.
