• 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.

  • Beat Stress: Realise that not everything that goes wrong or needs to be done is the end of the world. One way to do this is by consciously trivialising tasks.
