Following the last post, I came across a good post that has some practical advice on how to avoid stress. Here’s what they recommend:

• Accept offers of practical help
• Do one thing at a time – don’t keep piling stress on stress
• Know your own limits – don’t be too competitive or expect too much of yourself
• Talk to someone
• Let off steam in a way that causes no harm (shout, scream or hit a pillow)
• Walk away from stressful situations
• Try to spend time with people who are rewarding rather than critical and judgmental
• Practise slow breathing using the lower part of the lungs
• Use relaxation techniques

Some good advice there; but what you really need is a free ticket for the royal caribbean. Now that would relieve stress huh?
